Emergent Software Interview Question
First section is cupcake questions. Describe yourself. Second section (Let the destruction begin) problem solving. They will ask you riddles mostly using time schedules to solve. WATCH THE CLOCK! You only have a few seconds to answer. Third section is spacial. I scored off the charts in a real IQ test. I ran out of time here. The problems are small images that are hard to decipher. A big monitor is REQUIRED. I made a mistake here too and used a laptop. Again WATCH THE CLOCK. Forth section is tech question. This is actually the easiest part of the test. Just you do have to do it from IDE hints and memory ONLY. If you weren't wrecked from the previous sections, you will have no problem here.

I initially didn't really notice the clock and actually wasn't concerned. I figured I had plenty of time to answer these questions and be thoughtful about it. The first section gives you more than enough time to be thoughtful about your answers. Next two sections, is a race. They give you the total questions they are going to ask you and the time for the section. Do some quick math to figure out how much time you have per question, guess and move on if you pass that threshold. If you're a for-real genius, it will all seem pretty easy. This is purely help for the average-joes out there to even have a shot at applying.
