Answering Personality Interview Questions
Monster Career Center
- Do you generally speak to people before they speak to you?
Depends on the circumstances.
- What was the last book you read? Movie you saw? Sporting event you attended?
Talk about books, sports or films to show that you have balance in your life.
- What is the toughest part of a job for you?
Be honest; remember, not everyone can do everything.
- Are you creative?
Yes. Give examples
- How would you describe your own personality?
Balanced.
- Are you a leader?
Yes. Give examples.
- What are your future goals?
Avoid, "I would like the job you advertised." Instead, give long-term goals.
- What are your strong points?
Give at least three and relate them to the company and job you are interviewing for.
- What are your weak points?
Don't say you have none. Try not to cite personal characteristics as weaknesses, but be ready to have one if the interviewer presses. Turn a negative into a positive answer: "I am sometimes intent on completing an assignment and get too deeply involved when we are late."
