[Wistfulness]

Yeah, I talked about this in my original Casper article a little. I imagine they've rebranded since then. I never really did much digging on them. I hope most schools aren't going to use these services and do their own thing.

MMIs aren't standardized and schools are not being evidence or science-based by using them over a traditional interview. I hate that the tools and methods of science are being used by people to assert their own objectivity about human behavior and potential for profit like this. Don't get me wrong, they're great for determining what the better treatment is or how the human body works. But they're less effective when the prior plausibility of the thing being studied is dubious, and wholly ineffective when discussing what is just and fair.

I wish people in academia would stop trying to study stuff like selection processes like they're medical treatments... they're not. There is no one right way to do things. This is game design, not public health.
