I'm curious as to how this judges the skillset of a particular candidate. To me the only skill this would be able to judge is confidence, which also makes it very easy to trick - simply believe in your bullshit and you'll get through, no matter whether you actually have the skills.

It says right in the article. You train it on your 'top performers' and then use it to increase groupthink and tribalism in your company.

Well, according to US political polls, 35% of the population is very happy with groupthink and tribalism despite any arguments. So there obviously is some room in business for a product like this.
