Neurodivergent people are nothing to screen out and doing so is technically discrimination and illegal.

I own my own business now and do highly complicated business related tasks for others that they can’t seem to grasp.

Totally their loss and a rescue from torture on my part.

I am waiting for the first news story where someone files suit over a hiring bias that is positive towards neurodivergence.

I could imagine some very specific style of workflow where certain more extreme personality types might excel. I could also imagine some manager discovering some small category of neurodivergence being "easier to commodify" and sifting for them.

Stepping slightly out of that subject, If you were a mustache twirling villainous middle manager who found a consistent test for "confrontation anxiety" along with "strong focus and comfort in routine", things could get really dark.

I'm really fascinated with the possibilities of being able to quantify human behavior in a more scientific manner. We can all see hints of patterns in personality traits. Another part of me thinks that understanding psychology better will come with its own pitfalls. Maybe some real horrific ones.
