36 Personal Conflict Questions And Answers
22⟩ Are you analytical?
I'm a wiz at analyzing data and transforming it into useful information.
23⟩ Are you hard worker?
I do whatever it takes to get the job done, sometimes working 10-hour days.
24⟩ Are you a quick learner?
I can hit the ground running and come up to speed faster than anyone I know.
25⟩ What do you do for workouts?
I run mostly. In addition I lift, do hit, yoga, hiking, swimming, anything that is a great workout.
26⟩ How is Personality Type determined?
Each personality style or type is rated in terms of four preferences.
E = EXTRAVERSION ------------------- I = INTROVERSION
S = SENSING ---------------------- N = INTUITION
T = THINKING ---------------------- F = FEELING
P = PERCEIVING -------------------- J = JUDGING
You will find that you fall along the line, somewhere in between each of these four scales, leaning more to one side than the other.
You will get a four-letter code, based on where you rate yourself along the lines between these four preferences, by answering a set of questions designed to find out where you are on each scale.
27⟩ What will I learn about myself from knowing my type?
Your type will tell you how you make decisions, solve problems, deal with stress, learn new things, balance work and play time, and cope with change, as well as your unique communication style in relationships.
It shows you what your strengths and weaknesses are, so you can use them to best advantage in your personal life and in the workplace.
Learning about our Personality Style or Type helps us to understand why certain aspects of life are easy for us, and others are a real struggle.
28⟩ What's your story?
It's a question that asks for a creative response. It's an invitation to the candidate to play the game and see where it goes without worrying about the right answer. By playing along, it tells me a lot about the character, imagination, and inventiveness of the person.
The question, as obtuse as it might sound to the interviewee, is the beginning of a story and in today's world of selling oneself, or one's company, it's the ability to tell a story and create a feeling that sells the brand--whether it's a product or a person.
The way they look at me when the question is asked also tells me something about their like-ability. If they act defensive, look uncomfortable, and pause longer than a few seconds, it tells me they probably take things too literally and are not broad thinkers. In our business we need broad thinkers.
29⟩ Tell me a specific accomplishment you've achieved in a previous position that indicates you will thrive in this position?
Past performance is usually the best indicator of future success.
If the candidate can't point to a prior accomplishment, they are unlikely to be able to accomplish much at our organization--or yours.
30⟩ What's your superpower?
My pessimist personality.
31⟩ what's your spirit animal?
It was a duck, because ducks are calm on the surface and hustling like crazy getting things done under the surface.
32⟩ Explain any accomplishment or project that you consider to be the most significant in your career?
I find that this question opens the door to further questions and enables someone to highlight themselves in a specific, non-generic way.
Plus additional questions can easily follow: What position did you hold when you achieved this accomplishment? How did it impact your growth at the company? Who else was involved and how did the accomplishment impact your team?
Discussing a single accomplishment is an easy way to open doors to additional information and insight about the person, their work habits, and how they work with others.
33⟩ Tell me when have you been most satisfied in your life?
Except with entry-level candidates, I presume reasonable job skill and intellect. Plus I believe smart people with relevant experience adapt quickly and excel in new environments where the culture fits and inspires them.
So, I concentrate on character and how well theirs matches that of my organization.
This question opens the door for a different kind of conversation where I push to see the match between life in my company and what this person needs to be their best and better in my company than he or she could be anywhere else.
34⟩ How you energized?
I am energized by challenges and problems.
35⟩ Suppose if we're sitting here a year from now celebrating what a great year it's been for you in this role, what did we achieve together?
For me, the most important thing about interviews is that the interviewee interviews us. I need to know they've done their homework, truly understand our company and the role... and really want it.
The candidate should have enough strategic vision to not only talk about how good the year has been but to answer with an eye towards that bigger-picture understanding of the company--and why they want to be here.
36⟩ Tell me atleast one things that you not like to do?
We tend to assume people who have held a role enjoy all aspects of that role, but I've found that is seldom the case.
Getting an honest answer to the question requires persistence, though. I usually have to ask it a few times in different ways, but the answers are always worth the effort. For instance, I interviewed a sales candidate who said she didn't enjoy meeting new people.
My favorite was the finance candidate who told me he hated dealing with mundane details and checking his work. Next!
