Anyone have a good way of testing what people's work ethic and standards for good work looks like?

There's not a surefire way. In IT, we always want to hear thought process rather than the right or wrong answer. You should make scenario-based interview questions and see how people respond.

Another option is to give them a reading assignment and tell them to write a one-page paper summarizing it.

As part of the interview for her current job, my wife was given a big article pertaining to her line of work and she was to read and summarize it and bring the summary to the interview for discussion.

Hmm Okay I'll think of something.

I want to do something like draw a house. Not to see how good their artistic abilities are but to see what their attention to detail looks like.

I wish we could force them to take EQI tests...

Ok, ask them something like "Tell me the steps to make a sandwich" or something like that and see what level of detail they go into.

Good idea.

I should set up 3 parts to the interview.

1) home prep. Like design a brochure
2) Tell me steps to make a sandwich
3) Presentation on them self


(We give presentations)

Moral dilemma question, no right answer, just look at how long they take to respond and if the response is rational. If they respond too fast...

I am evil. I pity the people that need to interview with me.

any other suggestions?

Jack: Don’t you ever google yourself?
Tracy: Sure I google myself all the time. Like when Angie’s not in the mood or I’m alone in a hotel.
Jack: Tracy, you do know that googling yourself means looking yourself up on the interney.
Tracy: I did not know that. That explains why Liz Lemon was so cool the other day.
[Flashback]
Tracy: Liz Lemon, you mind if I Google myself in your office?
Liz: Sure, Tracy.
Tracy: Can I use your computer?
Liz: How else are you going to do it?

 

[sdifox]

any other suggestions?

situation based question. I really don't care about the actual answers, rather I want to understand the person's thought process.

There is always the manhole question

 

[sdifox]

If it is someone I consider a potential candidate I will become pushy and see how they handle that.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I usually had long interview questions written down, with diagrams, and let them read them and answer them. Many told me I was brutal.
