"I know it's not your fault, you just have a brainpan similar to that of a Neanderthal"
I bet the dev just grepped all words ending in "ology" and just put them all in the app.
Your boring explanation ruins the fun
It does add a Kafkaesque charm, though.
orwellian, even

Check for a skill called "alphabetology" and see if you can get a job with the job application site itself, because I have some additional issues with their way of ordering this list.

If there is an in person interview that you get to, this wouldn't be a bad thing to mention. Make it a casual aside like 'btw, your online application lists phrenology as a possible skill to check and this was a long debunked and very racist pseudo science from the turn of the 20th century, I think someone just copies and pasted a list, but it's essentially having 'race science' as a skill in your application, figured it's something you'd want to be aware of.". Unless you're applying for a racism factory you just did them a solid and pointed out an oversight during the job interview. That should help you, pointing out phrenology is on their application isn't 'don't hire this person cause they're a cage rattler' kinda thing to point out, it's borderline illegal, super mainstream level considered bad and easy to fix (most importantly). You can use this to your advantage
