You are conflating multiple different instances of current FAA employees providing outside racial identity groups with both hard and soft answer keys, the buzzword filter was just the first stage.
Later and probably most egregiously, there was a completely nonsensical and arbitrary biographical questionnaire which was scored like:
15. The high school subject in which I received my lowest grades was:
A. SCIENCE (+15)
B. MATH (0)
C. ENGLISH (0)
D. HISTORY/SOCIAL SCIENCES (0)
E. PHYSICAL EDUCATION (0)
16. Of the following, the college subject in which I received my lowest grades was:
A. SCIENCE (0)
B. MATH (0)
C. ENGLISH (0)
D. HISTORY/POLITICAL SCIENCE (+15)
E. DID NOT ATTEND COLLEGE (0)
29. My peers would probably say that having someone criticize my performance (i.e. point out a mistake) bothers me:
A. MUCH LESS THAN MOST (+8)
B. SOMEWHAT LESS THAN MOST (+4)
C. ABOUT THE SAME AS MOST (+8)
D. SOMEWHAT MORE THAN MOST (0)
E. MUCH MORE THAN MOST (+10)
where current FAA employees, again, distributed the exact answer key to outside racial identity groups to give to their members.
If the buzzwords that Snow provided turned out to just be something he pulled from a resume book rather than insider information, why should we believe that the answer keys were any more accurate?
