This is a neat idea. I tried to Google it to get the full thesis, but it turned up nothing. I then realized you were quoting yourself in the third person.
This could also be a good test for interviewers: do they toss the dead whiteboard marker in the trash, or put it back in the bin. Though, that could also correlate with self-confidence.
I wonder if that correlates with my theory on companies that buy cheap/thin toilet paper and their treatment of employees.
Corollary: if you are interviewing for a job and there are lots of dried out markers you may not want to work at the company.

Great, because the whole hiring process needed another voodoo variable.
Lots of dried out markers signal a workplace culture where people are too lazy to throw the markers out and replace them or where working markers are not available (possible money issues).
