This is a complete nonsense. OP has invented a tricky technical test for themselves which they have spent long amounts of time thinking about.

In an interview a candidate is not in that mindset, at least I am not. Under stress and anxiety it is very difficult to fully understand things and build good cognitive structures in the mind.

None of this makes any sense. Why should I complete a tech test interview if I have 15 years of experience at X top firm? I would have done it already anyway.

I had a ‘principal engineer’ at last place who grinded leetcode for 100 days and still failed a leetcode interview. It’s utter nonsense.

A conversation with technical questions and topics should suffice. Hire fast and fire people.
