Sample Behavioral Interview Questions : Personality

Personality
Following are some sample behavioral questions on personality:
Describe your ideal job.
Where do you see yourself in three to five years?
What type of management style do you thrive under?
When you are not studying or working, what types of activities do you enjoy?
How would your friends (or teacher or supervisor) describe you?
Answer: Keep it honest and positive. Remember this is not necessarily how you would describe yourself. Your friends may see your fun and quirks while your supervisor might see your dedication and adaptability.
What motivates your best work?
Answer: Consider the job. If you need praise or excitement or deadlines, not all jobs offer these. Give an example.
Give me an example of a problem you have had with a team member, co-worker, or employee and how you resolved it.
Answer: Talking it over with the person involved, using non-accusatory language and a caring, problem-solving approach, is the first step. Discussing it with your team members or a supervisor, as applicable, is next. Get to resolution, whether it was a reprimand, expulsion from the group, firing, your agreement with that person's point of view, or the person's change of behavior.
How do you keep track of things you need to do?
Answer: You are on your own. Most answers will work, except saying that you just remember everything.
Would you rather write a report or give it verbally? Why?
Answer: State your preference, but indicate your comfort with either approach as the situation warrants. Knowing the job requirements will assist with this question. Many jobs require both skills.
Give me an example of a high-pressure situation you have faced this past year and how you resolved it.
Answer: Your skills in organization and prioritization of tasks, your willingness to request your supervisor's assistance with establishing priorities, or ability to stay calm in pressure situations, are all appropriate to mention if applicable.
