From the written application that's supposed to be as terse as possible? I think I could get a feel for someone in person since I could dig into particular questions on the spot, but seems I'd have a real hard time judging meanness if I could only see the 1-way communication of the written YC application.
- tzier 11y agoGood point, I could have made that clearer. Wasn't meant to be specific to "meanness", more so just personality. This can obviously be complicated by things like language barriers/etc, so isn't a catch-all. In general, the point was that humans usually make subconscious judgments before they even start talking to you; at the least, you should be aware of this.
