> Few people perform well under pressure.

Yes, but majority of jobs have some level of time pressure. That being said, there is such a thing as reasonable deadline.

Inability to perform under pressure does not imply high skill without pressure.

Ability to churn out crap in a time limit doesn't imply competence neither.


Well, it implies competence at churning out crap within a time limit, which for a lot of managers out there is precisely what they're looking for.


Well isn't that the point of these: to see that they don't churn out crap, but do a decent job.
