Abstract

Abstract. Research on applicant reactions to brainteaser interview questions has been mixed, with some applicants finding them humorous and others finding them useless and unfair to use in an interview. Little research, however, has investigated how practitioners perceive these questions. Across two studies, we assess how applicants and practitioners react to brainteaser questions and how people perceive their use in a selection context. We find consistently negative reactions to brainteaser interview questions in both applicants and practitioners. As such, organizations that use or are considering using these questions in their selection practices should use caution. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

从业者和申请人对Braintaser面试问题的反应
摘要关于求职者对脑筋急转弯面试问题的反应的研究喜忧参半,一些求职者认为这些问题很幽默,而另一些求职者则认为在面试中使用这些问题既无用又不公平。然而,很少有研究调查从业者如何看待这些问题。在两项研究中,我们评估了申请人和从业者对脑筋急转弯问题的反应,以及人们如何看待他们在选择环境中的使用。我们发现,求职者和从业者对脑筋急转弯的面试问题总是持负面反应。因此,在选择实践中使用或正在考虑使用这些问题的组织应谨慎行事。讨论了研究的意义和未来的研究方向。
