I feel like this article contains at least the kernel of some mildly interesting insight, but all in all it's far from terribly insightful. And it probably "over-binarizes" the whole "loser / non-loser" distinction. OK, sure, if somebody can't even tell you what their favorite college class was, or show even the barest hint of enthusiasm / passion for their chosen field, then that is indeed a pretty big negative marker in my estimation. But I don't know that I'd make a hiring decision based on that one marker in isolation (or any one marker for that matter). Nor would I necessarily deem somebody a "loser" on that basis. And I'd bet money that out there, somewhere, is a guy or gal who would have failed this guy's interview, who is absolutely kicking ass wherever they did eventually wind up. People are complicated.
