If there is no obvious right/wrong answer, I wonder if they are limiting their pool taking people who all think alike (kinda like in-breeding) or are they using it diversify the ideas and knowledge etc. (like diversifying gene pool).

Different answers probably give points to different traits the test measures, the ambiguity is just irritating for test takers coming from more classical tests where you know (or at least suspect) what is expected from you.

This whole test setup is not cheap so one can at least hope they considered the issue of diversity? The other thing is did they actually tested which teams perform better in specific problem domain that interests them?
