I thought that part of the application was a bit odd. High school me is so different from current me that I might as well be writing about a different human being entirely.

These kinds of interviews just scream ageism. For younger applicants, High School may be the most significant bit of life experience they have yet had. For older employees, high school is just a distant memory that was at most a seed that has grown into a much more branched experience

It also selects for people that have spent their early life credential-chasing and turning their life into an easily repeated list of accomplishments.

A lot of great employees rightfully spent their teen years screwing around and having fun before settling into career mode.
