Doing well on the fizzbuzz problems was not very correlated.

I think you're mis-using fizbuzz. You cannot really 'do well' on it. You can basically pass it or fail it. Failing means you're probably no good, but passing it doesn't prove anything.



Yeah, I just mean "short programming problems of a difficultly similar to fizzbuzz"


That's the same thing though. If it's the same level of difficulty as fizzbuzz, it serves the same purpose: you can fail at it, but you can't really do well at it. All you can do is not fail.
