In general, selecting for good personality traits make sense. In the extreme, only selecting for test scores and grades ignores all of the characteristics that make a person good in real world endeavours (ex: all of the recurring HN stories about genius coders sucking at team work).
That said, evaluating for these in a consistent, non-biased way, at a scale of 40k/year seems incredibly difficult.
