Our training material explicitly excludes culture fit questions or decisions since it is a source of bias.

What is culture other than the shared set of beliefs that you agree to work with? LP questions are culture fit questions. What’s excluded are things that go beyond that, for example “how do you feel about drinks with coworkers?”

Fair, though traditionally when people talk about culture fit they are a lot of times asking "is this someone I could be friends/get a drink with" which is treading dangerous waters.
