Except that extensive internal tracking showed that the question was useless. The whole point of why I brought it up is because it sounds smart to the interviewer, but doesn't actually measure anything. Actual, validated psychometric tests are typically quite boring and seem intuitively insufficient, while the creative and fun questions never pass validation.
