The personal questions proposed in this post are not in any way relevant to job performance and put you at risk of an anti-discrimination lawsuit in California. The relevance to entrepreneurship is never explained in the post, you might as well ask "what is your favorite color" as it's as useful as these questions. It's also interesting that all of the "homework" tasks are marketing or business development related. To help the average hacker understand what's being asked here, pretend that you were given a programming assignment and asked to bring the code in on a USB key so that it could be "reviewed" as a part of the interview. This is different from being asked to sketch out an approach during an interview, he wants real work for free. The downturn may embolden certain hiring managers to abuse candidates, please don't become one of them.
