What's a more effective way to judge candidates in interviews? Using a point system i.e. Intelligence: 7, Integrity: 8, Experience 4, Energy: 9 Or just using your intuition/gut?

Just reread the Kahneman research...the Israeli army is quite a bit different from hiring on a small scale for a small company. The factors used at a small company cannot be equally weighted. Everyone I know who has done a lot of hiring says it's a crapshoot no matter what.
Probably the best way to judge is "try before you buy" - give them the actual work on a part-time basis before a hire and see what you get back.

True, it only works over a large number of candidates like the army or a big corp. Some companies i know of do trial weeks instead of interviews, so that could work too. But how long should it be?

Maybe look at the position and see whats the worst/best someone can do there and try to avoid sociopaths/hire long shots accordingly (antifragile).
