Unless a person is at one extreme or the other (on a trait spectrum), I'm not sure I'd be able to tell based on an interview (or series of interviews) whether I would want to hang out with him/her on a Sunday. An extrovert who reads as "fun" within a few minutes may be someone you know immediately you'd like to hang out with. What about the person who is an introvert and reads as "fun" within a few hours, days, weeks. . .? Within a few weeks, you would have realized this is someone you could work with, but you would have already made the decision not to hire this person,

Our interview process isn't 'standard.' It probably isn't scalable to a company of 100, but right now we don't bring a person in for an hour. A few of us are definitely introverts, and it's not about "liking someone" necessarily, it's about being excited to be around them and work with them.

That's just another way of saying "liking someone." You can "like someone" for a variety of criteria.
