What a bullshit task. I’m beginning to think this kind of interviewing should be banned. Seems to me it’s just an easy escape hatch for the interviewer/hiring manager when they want to discriminate based on prejudice.

Banning stupid interview questions is a bad idea for job applicants since they are such a good indication of bullshit job culture.
Excellent point.
