Culture Fit Interview Questions

That's fair. I'd just assume that even the good, honest candidates will eventually feel like an interview like that is more of an interrogation, and decide not to come back because their manager doesn't trust them.

Please note I'm not trying to make a personal attack here, my interview style has pretty much always been to keep things simple, straight, and to-the-point. Additionally, most of my interviews are technical, so sorting out behaviors is usually secondary, and the technicality is usually enough information to select candidates on.

I also think pressing in this manner is likely to select less for the honest and more for people able to bullshit their way through better than the interviewer can keep up. Even if the interviewer has a high opinion of their ability.

Yep. Trying to "rip to shreds" is a strong signal to stay away from that place. Good luck with a team full of BS artists.
