This article is less then two decades old, and changes to the way people think and perceive - take a lot of time. But we're getting there.If you look at books on psychology and sociology from 60's, it can get a bit depressing though. Nowadays, authors focus on given subject and they don't try to picture how it's all going to change. They used to get overexcited over how much data they have to back them up. IE.: it's been proven numerous times that interviews are as good way to find if someone as qualified as flipping a coin, and even less, if the interviewer has some background on interviewee. All they do is check who has best social skills. Now, how many companies or even universities(supposedly filled with people with a thing for science) dropped interview as a submission tool? And this is something based on hard facts, with data from numerous studies done for almost (over, if you count British Army* early studies) half a century.So changing a thinking pattern people are very used to, and which they can ignore with little to no backslash? Yeah, I'm not exactly trembling in excitement.Slowly, but surely things will change.If anything, I'm pleasantly surprised how fast it progresses when compared to other much needed social changes. *a study which showed how redundant interviews are, and to which top brass responded by saying "nah, !@#$ it, I like interviews better".</blockquote>
