I remember reading about a similar but different test that had good results. I can't find the source so this is just from what I remember. Before starting a course the students were shown short snippets of code and asked simple questions about it. They found that consistent answers were a predictor of who would do well. The theory was that people who are able to construct a mental model for the problems ended up being good at programming tasks, even if the models they had made didn't match what code actually does. Have you heard of or tried this approach? |
