The thing is, I can do all of those things very well when I’m not standing in front of a whiteboard.

When someone asks me to do then on a whiteboard in an interview setting they might as well dismiss me immediately.

When I interview I usually offer a whiteboard or paper and pen. Or they can talk through the problem. I just want to see that somebody is capable of understanding a problem and has a way to work towards a solution. Maybe I should offer a text editor too in the future.
