I don't think those tests would select for "drones," even the accuracy one. Visual perception hardly equates with orthodoxy, and typos in computer programs can be fatal (literally).
When I was still working for a large computer company, I was working on a "troubleshooting skills" test for use with tech support candidates, based on Interactive Fiction technology. The test didn't rely on any particular technical knowledge, but was based more on approach and use of logic. I'd have validated it against our existing staff before trying to use it in hiring, however.
