The salt thing isn’t in the same league of nonsense as the foot thing. It does tell something about the person.

Tells you something about their salt tolerance. It makes all the difference in plumbing together CRUD applications effectively.

My salt tolerance is so screwed that maybe I deserve to get failed in interviews for that... Still, seems quite unreasonable.

The salt thing can tell you that a person may be well-hydrated due to high sodium intake. Dumb test for "didn't tried it first".

What does it tell you?

[bee_rider]

I believe the intention is that it tells you they’ll make a modification without checking if it is necessary first. Some kind of impulsiveness.

Although, it seems pretty silly to me.

I think it is more like doing things from habit vs from first principles. Maybe they just learn how to do things once and then repeat them blindly. Not sure it’s a good test but I think that is the intent.
