I worked in HR for almost 30 years. From my experience, I know that evaluating a person with such simple questions is not possible. Anyone who claims otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Unfortunately, many HR professionals or merely recruiters believe they can do it. If it were that simple, psychologists and researchers who have multiple sessions with their clients and observe dozens of markers would be out of a job. The tricky part about these simple questions is that they create the illusion that any answer has a logical explanation. No, it doesn’t. Evaluating responses to these peculiar questions without systematic knowledge and a proper evaluation matrix poses a significant risk to the credibility of the entire recruitment process. The fact that such questions are popular at companies like Google doesn’t change this. There’s a reason for the well-known Asian proverb: "Who knows himself is wise; Who knows others is a saint." I don’t suppose any recruiters consider themselves saints.
