I think a CF test should be more structured like a collage entrance English test, where you are given a topic and write a 2 page essay off the cuff.
Give the applicant a problem to solve, 2 hours to do it, then grade the results. Test on ingenuity, performance, clean code practices, etc. Do this in a clean room with no internet access, but have a modern IDE available (maybe 2 or 3, you wouldn't want someone who is a Homesite guru to flop like a fish because they don't know the 1st thing about eclipse). I think the test grading may be a bit subjective, but if you get a panel of people to judge, it might work out. I wonder if it would work to have, say, 3 experts and 3 prior test-takers to do the judging. Kinda like Ray's Friday Puzzlers, only as a test. =) Chris Peterson Gainey IT Adobe Certified Advanced Coldfusion Developer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:283001 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
