A candidate kept stopping mid-task to ask what the client actually wanted. We scored that as dodging and nearly passed on them. Hired anyway. Two weeks in, on a payment integration, they flagged that the spec double-charged on retry, before writing a line of code. We'd have found that in production, with money moving. Now "asks before building" is a scored signal for us, not a red flag.
Probably worth a look at which habits you screen out that you shouldn't.
