It&#x27;s not cult-like, but it does seem arbitrary. What if Jessica gets a &quot;bad vibe&quot; from someone who happens to genuinely be a good, smart, honest person? All forms of radar have false positives and false negatives. Even if she does happen to have a very high success rate, she or anyone else can&#x27;t always be right.<p>Of course, that&#x27;s what all job interviews are like. If they get a bad vibe from you or think you&#x27;re not a &quot;culture fit&quot;, they can quickly reject you based on a short impression. And that&#x27;s not necessarily a bad thing.<p>What bothers me is the reptition of the idea that any one person can be some kind of magical oracle of character judgment, bordering on having psychic properties. Especially without strong scientific evidence. I&#x27;d rather PG use less black-and-white language.
