This will get you a successful candidate who can talk at length about something they might have done. If talking is the bulk of the job, congratulations. If the job involves actually doing something requiring some skill, perhaps you should be testing for the skill, rather than ability to tell a (possibly true!) story. Surely everyone has worked with that person who is confident and charismatic, who inspires confidence in everyone who hasn't (for example) read their code, but who produces negative work every day on the job. When that person eventually leaves (perhaps after spending months or years being shuffled around to the places they can do the least harm by their peers), they will have no problem finding a lucrative job elsewhere, because they are easy and fun to talk to, and can go on for hours about the very important projects they were on.
