I'm not saying these things aren't important. Just that it's almost never included in a job description, and it's invariably eye-roll worthy the few times they are, because no one tests for them explicitly anyway.
"Time management skills", "Ability to prioritize effectively", "Able to handle stress in positive ways", "Able to self-task", etc; no one changes their interviews to actually test for these things. Well, except maybe for seeing how someone handles stress, but frankly, we've heard about companies who do that, purposely make the interview as stressful as possible just to see how someone handles it, and we hate the very idea of it.
