If you create a standardized test it will be gamed. Even with the small modicum of standardization around interview questions that we currently see, people have published books like Cracking The Code Interview, making it easier for people who don’t have the skills for a particular job to pass interviews at any place that uses standard-ish questions.
Furthermore, as an avowed enemy of “Clean Code”, I don’t want to see standardization because I fear that well-promoted ideas that I think are terrible would become required dogma. I prefer chaos over order that I don’t like.
