what interview questions should you ask of a user experience (ux) developer/designer

usability, user-experience

Solution

Ask Tog has a good Quiz. I'd also ask stuff on the Gestalt principles, but that's probably because I have a masters degree in HCI (as in that might be a bit academic). That said Gestalt principles are very important especially for things like Form design.

I guess also you could ask them what their favourite book on UX design are, if they can't list any that would be very odd to me.

Problem

We are hiring a UX consultant, had a broadstrokes session with the company, liked their work, think the candidates are ok and now want a more concentrated interview with the specific UX consultant that will be embedded into the scrum team. What questions should be asking that could weed out any dead weight candidates. Thanks.
