I heard a story that some company went and fired every employee that got a specific profile opposite from the ceo. Idiot.

In my understanding, a project manager might use it to assign different jobs, like, public relations, accounting, communications, outreach, evaluation, stuff like that. It tells you who makes a good MC at the retirement dinner, but can't keep track of the checks...

It's not supposed to be a pass/fail thing, and some people use it as such. So, you're right.
