Louis suggested the following interview question: * Tell me about who you are. Forget and make no reference to all your personal roles such as father, friend, husband (wife), son (daughter), forget and make no reference to all your professional roles, your past and present titles, forget and make no reference to your degrees and all your positions, forget and make no reference to what you have, forget and make no reference to all that you have done. Just tell me about who you are."
Paul has already commented that this question is "patently strange and will tend to make a candidate not want to come work for the organization, IMO." I'm trying to imagine what sort of answer Louis might be looking for that would be in any way useful. Can someone be defined in ways other than behavior? And if so, is that definition relevant to anything at all? I'm asking myself about how someone like Torquemada might answer Louis' question. Perhaps it might start out something like this: "I'm a deeply spiritual person who is concerned with the spiritual well being of his fellow man." Edward I.
