You can assess their attitude, but by asking questions relevant to
the postion: how they handle deadlines; who their worst bosses were;
what they learned from their last bug; etc. There is no need to talk
about the war, religion, their family, etc., in order to ascertain if
they seem to be the right sort of person.
