There's a lot these tests don't pick up for sure. I feel soft skills is one and being focused on the day to day tasks is another. By hiring based on drills you run this risk of hiring a nasty or emotional person that just wants to use framework x rather than do any of the mundane bill paying work. If soccer teams started hiring based on ball-juggling skills they'd be full of street perfromers and clowns rather than world class strikers. I find tests are really bad for generalists too or older people who can't remember vividly the math they did at school. However we gotta suck it up and it is quite fun refreshing some skills and knowledge between gigs. What's worse is when you pass the tests but then don't get the job. Makes you feel it was something about you personally.
