A friend of mine was offered a similar position and had a similar interview. Annoyed by the questions and the "my solution is the only right one because I have to stick to this script"-attitude he asked: "So what do you want me to do at Google, how can I help you" the recruiter could not really answer and ended the call shortly after.

It's a freaking psychological profile test dressed up as "tech screen". Your friend's personality was effectively filtered.

IMO, the very first step in entering googleplex/facebook is accepting that it is OK to lend your talents to build a global surveillance & propaganda platform. These tests seem to be probing for other desired characteristics as the next step.
