Below are questions to ask based on their personality result:

Engineer:

  1. Tell me about a time you dealt with an emotional client. What was the situation? How was it resolved?

  2. How would you define a team player?

  3. Did you ever have to sell a product you did not believe in? What was it? What did you do?

  4. How do you overcome a sense of perfectionism?

  5. Tell me about a time when you saw an issue and took it upon yourself to resolve it, rather than waiting for someone else to fix it.

  6. Would others consider you easy to talk to and get along with? Why do you think that is?

  7. What resources do you need from us to make you successful in this role? What did you use or have available to you in your last position?
