Meaning, after I finish reading back a few pages in this thread.
Get a cup of coffee (a big one) and start on Page 1...

...just kidding. Don't do that.

Honestly, I think they're looking for you to be a good fit for the lifestyle, and that you won't run off once the reality of a 17 day trip sinks in. They'll ask you 50 different ways to try to see if you're really sure it's right for you, and also make sure that you're the type of person they wouldn't mind sharing a cockpit with.

Of course, the tech interview is a straightforward evaluation of your knowledge, but everything else (okay, except the writing assignment) seemed to be personality-oriented.
