Numerous viewers have sent me the recent Ny Times write-up about Google’s most recent hiring practice of getting candidates fill out an “elaborate over the internet survey that explores their attitudes,

Some readers (and internal Microsoft employees) have even written to tell me they think this is a great idea and have wondered if Microsoft should do a similar thing.
