Is this for real? Wow. Reads like someone spoofing the real Google interview.

For "Director of Engineering" they have a technical illiterate (nothing wrong with that, in other contexts) check for literal matches of answers? the mind boggles.

(I'm really having a hard time believing this is for real)

Director of Engineering is a soft-skills position that involves communicating with a lot of non-technical people. It doesn't surprise me at all that the initial screen would be a conversation with a non-technical person.
