I think this is spot on. If management starts looking for a metric, employees will automatically (without even thinking) start gaming that metric. If you want an engaged employee you have to put them in charge of their advancement. "What are your goals? Where do you want to be next year? What does your ideal future in this company look like?" Then give them guidance to get there. Point out any obstacles they will face. For example, if they want to be a manager but don't like people... maybe work on those soft skills. But required assessments based on some generic/arbitrary criteria are simply dehumanizing.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
