Competency interviews are good and bad. The good is that they have a very set criteria making it difficult for interviewers to make questions less or more difficult depending on how much they like the interviewee. It reduces the chance of the interviewer being able to control the outcome of the interview based on their perceptions of the person in the hot seat. But you're right, it very much does favour those who are confident and good at speaking. But then again, all interviews do that. The person it particularly favours is someone who is very good at anticipating potential questions and planning their answers before hand.
