I find that people can mystify me based on their inability to think, or at least to have the common sense to not be an assdouche during an interview.
I assisted my boss in conducting an interview today with a technical professional, and I hardly, if ever, as a technical question in these interviews. I prefer non-standard to make you think questions.
This one has baffled many an interviewee :
If you had to choose between Integrity, Intelligence, or Honor, which would you select and why?
Typically I get a good thought out response. Today, it was different. The candidate decided to argue with me that Integrity and Honor were the same things. I tried to nicely let him know he was mistaken, but he was insistent.
Integrity is the basing of one’s actions on an internally consistent framework of principles.
Honor is an objectification of praiseworthiness, respect
Oh well, he didn’t get the job …
