That actually wasn't what I was trying to convey (guess I need to work |
| 9 |
on those communications skills :) ). I did recognize that you were |
| 10 |
looking to assess this, and that you felt that this was of critical |
| 11 |
importance. |

What I was getting at is trying to identify what aspects of the whole |
| 14 |
recruitment process added the most value and which added the least, and |
| 15 |
adjusting accordingly. I think that assessing attitude and maturity, |
| 16 |
and providing the tools and education needed are the most critical |
| 17 |
aspects of recruitment. |

That's why I'm all for changing the approach to quizzes - from my |
| 20 |
experience it wasn't the quizzes themselves that really added the most |
| 21 |
value for me. The interaction that they triggered and getting me to |
| 22 |
consider some of the more critical issues that come up in ebuild |
| 23 |
maintenance added far more value than getting every detail of the |
| 24 |
answers 100% correct. |

The quizzes are just a tool - not the ultimate validators of ability. |

Let's use every tool at our disposal in the best way possible. |
