That could work. The problem is trust though - how do you know the environment is safe? Especially in employe-employer relations. I did worked in a receptive place once, and I regret not being slightly more open, telling about a few more of my personal quirks. Ultimately, we all hide stuff that are implementation details of the abstraction a "productive employee" is; the question is, how many of those details can leak before you start looking bad against candidates whose abstractions don't leak?

Yeah, that's a good point. Seen that happen both in myself and in others.

Oh, thanks. I didn't realize "need for cognition" is a proper name.

I don't have any particular recommendations; I tend to keep a collection of individual songs, not artists. I've also discovered that the most cognitively enhancing music for me is the one that "resonates" with my current mood - so if I feel sad, I listen to depressive stuff; if I feel energetic, I pick something powerful. In that latter case, quite often it's either Sabaton (or other power metal), or random Nightcore songs from YouTube, on a loop.
