I particularly like the reference call during lunch and using call back response as a gauge of quality. Even better is vetting a candidate via "backdoor" references and bringing them into your trusted network. Official references are alway positive. The car was a good example of acquiring data on an individual through non verbal means. I have also wondered how good a predictor of cultural affinity a candidates most played list of songs could be.
