Interview Questions

[TubStain]

When interviewing, what do you give as answers to these questions?:

1) Tell me about a time when you were in a group situation and one group member was not pulling in for the team work. What did you do, or how would you handle it?

2) What kind of a leader are you?

3) What do you do when you are not working?

4) What aspect of you would you like to improve, i.e. what is wrong with you?

These are all from recent MBA interviews.
