No trick questions

no trick questions

Traditional assessment tools use trick questions and puzzles for the screening, which creates a lot of frustration among candidates about having to go through irrelevant screening assessments.

View sample questions

The main reason we started Adaface is that traditional pre-employment assessment platforms are not a fair way for companies to evaluate candidates. At Adaface, our mission is to help companies find great candidates by assessing on-the-job skills required for a role.

Why we started Adaface
Reason #3

Non-googleable questions

We have a very high focus on the quality of questions that test for on-the-job skills. Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.

How we design questions

These are just a small sample from our library of 10,000+ questions. The actual questions on this Node.js Online Test will be non-googleable.

🧐 Question

Medium

I/O cycle and main module
Event Loop
Solve
Review the following NodeJS code:
 image
Pick the correct statements:

A: X will be logged after Y always
B: Y will be logged after X always
C: The order of executing timeout and immediate callbacks is non-deterministic and is bound by the performance of the process
D: In this case, the function calls are scheduled in the main module and not in the I/O cycle
E: In this case, the function calls are scheduled in the I/O cycle so setImmediate is always executed before any timers scheduled in the I/O phase, independently of how many timers are left

Easy

Res methods
Solve
If none of the methods (res.download, res.end, res.json, res.jsonp, res.redirect, res.render, res.send, res.sendFile, res.sendStatus) are called from a route handler to terminate request response cycle, what happens to the the client request?
A) Will be left hanging indefinitely

B) Will get an internal server error - 500 

C) Will get a service unavailable error - 503

D) Will be left hanging for a while and then request timeout error - 408

Medium

Phases and Timers
Event Loop
Solve
Review the following NodeJS code:
 image
Pick the correct statements:

A: Adaface will be logged after Lovelace.
B: Lovelace will be logged after Adaface.
C: Once the asyncOpThatTakes195ms completes reading the file, it starts executing the callback which takes 10 seconds. Only after this is finished, the event loop will execute the timers that are finished. So the timeout call back will actually be executed after 205 ms even though it is scheduled to be run after 200 ms
D: Once the asyncOpThatTakes195ms completes reading the file, it starts executing the callback. While executing the callback, the scheduled timer becomes ready to be executed. So the runtime executes the timer and then completes processing the callback.

Easy

Registration Queue
Logic
Queues
Solve
We want to register students for the next semester. All students have a receipt which shows the amount pending for the previous semester. A positive amount (or zero) represents that the student has paid extra fees, and a negative amount represents that they have pending fees to be paid. The students are in a queue for the registration. We want to arrange the students in a way such that the students who have a positive amount on the receipt get registered first as compared to the students who have a negative amount. We are given a queue in the form of an array containing the pending amount.
For example, if the initial queue is [20, 70, -40, 30, -10], then the final queue will be [20, 70, 30, -40, -10]. Note that the sequence of students should not be changed while arranging them unless required to meet the condition.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note:
- The first line of the input is the length of the array. The second line contains all the elements of the array.
- The input is already parsed into an array of "strings" and passed to a function. You will need to convert string to integer/number type inside the function.
- You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases.

For the example discussed above, the input will be:
5
20 70 -40 30 -10

Your code needs to print the following to the standard output:
20 70 30 -40 -10

Medium

Visitors Count
Strings
Logic
Solve
A manager hires a staff member to keep a record of the number of men, women, and children visiting the museum daily. The staff will note W if any women visit, M for men, and C for children. You need to write code that takes the string that represents the visits and prints the count of men, woman and children. The sequencing should be in decreasing order. 
Example:

Input:
WWMMWWCCC

Expected Output: 
4W3C2M

Explanation: 
‘W’ has the highest count, then ‘C’, then ‘M’. 
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Note:
- The input is already parsed and passed to a function.
- You need to "print" the final result (not return it) to pass the test cases.
- If the input is- “MMW”, then the expected output is "2M1W" since there is no ‘C’.
- If any of them have the same count, the output should follow this order - M, W, C.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Node.js Online Test in your hiring process is that it is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. In other words: you want to use the test to eliminate the candidates who do poorly on the test, not to select the candidates who come out at the top. While they are super valuable, pre-employment tests do not paint the entire picture of a candidate’s abilities, knowledge, and motivations. Multiple easy questions are more predictive of a candidate's ability than fewer hard questions. Harder questions are often "trick" based questions, which do not provide any meaningful signal about the candidate's skillset.

Science behind Adaface tests
Reason #6
