"On the other hand, people who view the world purely through the team prism will very seldom use the words βIβ or βmeβ even when answering questions about their accomplishments"
In various interview training sessions I've been told to use statements with "I" rather than "We". The purpose being to clearly articulate your direct contribution to the team or goal.
In fact, I've been rejected from a few roles in the past with the feedback that I was not specific enough about my own accomplishments [1].
Therefore, I'm not convinced about this specific aspect of Ben's screening process. People who use I/me rather then we may simply have been conditioned by other interview processes or might really not have contributed much to their teams.
Since this is only one aspect of the screening, I'd probably give it less weight than other factors.
[1] There may also have been other reasons but I never heard about them. :)
