I have suffered from clinical depression most of my life. For those who have to deal with this mental disorder or may be interested in the subject, I recommend this book:
The Upward Spiral by Alex Korb PhD.

"passing a generic test I studied for so I can get treated like a king," but it takes more than passing tests to be a king
This is one of the least understood and pernicious aspects of public schooling. People have been conditioned to think that passing a test = competency. Competence is a verb not an adjective or a trophy you get to keep forever. You have to continually evolve and expend effort to maintain it.
Personally the two biggest factors I look for are work ethic and initiative. The former for obvious reasons and the latter because I cannot possibly predict what challenges we will face in the future. I need teammates that can solve open ended problems and even challenge my solutions if they're inadequate.
This was a lesson I learned from my dad who has 40 years of experience hiring engineers. He says whenever he's in an interview he probes to find out if they've ever made any projects themselves. It could be a home aquarium. The specifics are trivial. The intangible benefits that accrue from high agency teammates that solve open ended problems are hard to overstate.
Your hiring process is more aligned with how we should work and interact with each other. I am keen to see how that process evolves.
It is good to be able to enjoy the improvements and refinements that are being implemented. That means growthđź‘Ť
I am so close to that triple digit cowboy hat baby.
