>>It will potentially help to identify candidates that are downright rude, arrogant etc.
This sounds very dangerous to me. I assume when recruiters and/or lead engineers decide to reach out to me via LinkedIn, they did their homework on me. I purposely link to enough stuff for them to realize "smtddr" is my handle. The same blog & youtube channel in my HN profile is also in my LinkedIn. But I expect a human to look, not some computer judging me. I can totally see people getting lazy and just doing stuff like only filtering for people who rate 80% on openness or something. Then everyone will start grooming their posts simply to get positive results... then someone will create a social website that claims to block those scanners so people can say whatever they want.
It just forces people underground and the filters won't work anymore since at that point you might as well assume everyone is gaming the system.
(fwiw, I'm also against standardized tests. Anything that forces a whole group of people to start grooming themselves for a very specific measurement kills diversity, imho. Since the very term "standardized" kinda goes against the concept of diverse... and people become lazy and just rely on such tests to make or break the deal)
