I'm glad I haven't encountered the "record a video" phenomenon because that sounds dreadful. I have been asked to read out every character of a solution on the phone, which I thought was a bit much.
Not sure it qualifies as a terrible interview, but I have gotten IQ tests as an interview. It's illegal in the US, and I think they knew that, because they called it a personality test.

Oh my. Can this please become the the “terrible interview stories” thread?

These stories are getting even worse. I feel much better about my interviews now. Thank you for the perspective! Haha. In IQ test...? Wow. Just wow.
That sounds more awful than "record a video".
