I've heard it said that a good laborer has a strong back and a weak mind. There's something to be said for that, and I've found that for some of the positions I try to fill, being able to think quickly on your feet in a job interview is not a skill I need on a jobsite. BTW, I see thinking quickly on a jobsite and thinking quickly in an interview are two different things - some guys are just not charismatic interviewees, and are not good and figuring out the 'right answer'. Besides, in my prior lives I spent so much time hiring people that I take some joy in breaking the smooth-talkers who have the pat answer for everything.
I'll attach my stock questions - I often deviate from this sheet, but it serves as a good starting point.
