Absolutely, I can not imagine someone doing that!

I actually would not be too sure about someone who just ignored it, or pretended to, as that person may also show the same trait on the job....
Me either. I do not use the kilt as an interview technique, but I am interested in a candidates response to it. If they completely ignored it, I would wonder as well. However, possibly that person is of Scottish/Celtic descent, or an XMarks member, and has no issues with a kilt wearer!
