With the Germans, I was going to say you could measure their beds, but that would show how long they are, not how tall they are.
I interviewed for an Electronics Technician job back in 1998 at Tracor, which is now part of BAE Systems.
I was instructed by the interviewer, to “draw a radio.”
I drew a block diagram from memory of a UHF transceiver that I had worked on extensively during my first enlistment in the Navy (I’m retired Navy).
He recognized the diagram because he had also repaired those radios. He told me that one guy actually drew a picture of a radio.
I got the job........

“This is a marketing job I’m applying for, right?”
“Yes.”
“I’d put an IQ test in their bathrooms.”
“What would that prove?”
“Nothing about their height, but we could see if their waste was capable of working at Hewlett Packard because you evidently hire stupid s&%$s here.”
