Passage Summary: Managers ask about hobbies to find enthusiastic workers, but the author warns that hobby lovers might just be slackers who prefer play over work. Therefore, managers should stop asking about hobbies entirely.

Conclusion: Personnel managers should not inquire about a candidate's hobbies.

Reasoning: While hobby enthusiasm might translate to work enthusiasm, it could also indicate that a candidate values leisure more than their professional responsibilities.

Analysis: The author takes a 'scorched earth' approach here, concluding that a practice should be abolished simply because it has a potential downside. This is an 'EXCEPT' question, so we are looking for the one option that is NOT a flaw the author overlooked. The author ignores the possibility that managers can distinguish between 'good' and 'bad' enthusiasm, or that hobbies provide other useful data. The correct answer will likely be a statement that is irrelevant to the logic or a premise the author actually did address. It is a bit dramatic to suggest we stop asking about hobbies just because one guy might like his model trains a little too much.
