Comment on Interview questions for culture fit?

The problem with this is that there’s usually a gap (often a very large gap) between what an employer wants (or thinks they want) and reality.
Often employers will put out a massive shopping list saying they want a rockstar developer who knows everything and has a hundred years of experience when they really need a recent graduate who knows git ok and can write a bit of java. In a similar vein I could easily see employers looking at the questions on your site and putting in unrealistic expectations for the company culture.

Right, but just like in the dating sites, those that come with a huge list of absurd requirements quickly change their tune once they face reality.
If a employer answers the quiz with high expectations and marking all questions as mandatory, they will find out that the only candidates that can satisfy the criteria are likely to be unavailable or out of their price range, and then will adjust accordingly.
