Types of interview questions!

Questioning is a communication tactic that is used to fulfill the interview goal. Interviews are not just a spontaneous conversation between the interviewer and the interviewee. These questions can be placed into five categories:

- Behavior
- Attitude/Opinion
- Credential
- Knowledge/Experience
- Imaginative

Behavior questions ask the interviewee to describe how she/he reacts in different situations and to find out how the interviewee will face different challenges in the future and how did she/he come up with problems at work in the past.

Attitude/Opinion questions ask the interviewee to express his/her feelings about certain topics to see if the interviewee is in the same level as the organization.

Credential questions are used to gain information from the interviewee about his/her previous experience or education. This helps the interviewer to compare all the applicants.

Knowledge/Experience questions are used in those situations when the interviewer wants to know about previous experiences.

Imaginative questions are used to see if the interviewee is able to think quickly and to provide creative responses.
