I'd guess there is some correlation with time spent on HN, times of access, comment rate, language usage, etc. HN may be one of the largest data sets on a candidate that YC has, so as big brotherly as it sounds, I can't imagine YC could resist analyzing it. It might sound trivial, but it is probably a good indicator of impulse control, attitude, and cleverness.
