Here's another one: What was the last book you read?

They can reveal a lot about the way a person thinks and behaves under a multitude of conditions. By asking them to tell you about their experiences, they often rattle off tangential details that are unrelated to the question, but in themselves are much more revealing. "Tell me about a time when you were asked to solve a problem that was a PEBKAC error." The answer may reveal anything from troubleshooting skills to people skills. Of course it may reveal nothing, but often people will spill lots of unintended nuggets about themselves when they are telling a story about themselves. "Tell me about a time that you were working on a project, and things didn't turn out like you expected." Maybe you learn what types of projects are outside their skill set, and what makes them take on tasks they are unsuited for. "Tell me about a time that you had to come up with a creative solution for handling a difficult client" Maybe you learn whether they are unreasonable themselves in their customer service attitude.

I would LOVE to have a clever, unexpected, yet relevant-to-the-position question. Do you guys have anything I can use?
