In other words, to most accurately predict someone's performance, you must closely mimic the context in which the individual will have to perform." "The same holds true in the office. Executives exchange information through conversations, questions are posed, and decisions are made on the fly. The most accurate predictor of business performance would have to imitate these dynamics, and human evaluators are far and away the best judges of such interactions."

They are not analyzers who can break up big questions into manageable problems; they aren’t number crunchers either (these are typically the obsessives).
