This article discusses the trend of "extreme interviewing" where interviewers ask job candidates unusual or bizarre questions to see how they react. Some examples given include asking what kind of dinosaur the candidate would be or having the interviewer pretend to be a chicken. The goal is to assess how quickly candidates can think on their feet when caught off guard. This style of interviewing originated in technology companies in Silicon Valley and is meant to distinguish truly exceptional candidates from just very qualified ones. While strange, proponents believe it provides an opportunity to see aspects of a person's personality that a typical interview may miss. However, others argue it may be too unusual or intimidating for candidates.
