Do we actually have any evidence that “when in the year you were born in” has worse statistical relevance than the admittedly weak relevance of personality tests?

If not (and I’ve not seen it) then the candidate is just stating a preference for not working with companies that are lazy intellectually. That’s not naive that’s sensible.

So far as I know Bridgewater has never published numbers on their traders based on the part of the year they were born in.

Do you have a citation?
