A source of inspiration typically springboards a person towards growth and increased creativity. This question ties goal inspiration and goal progress together. Studies have found that inspiration happens to us externally. It is not willed from within. Therefore, by determining your inspirations, the interviewer can understand how to inspire your professional growth and what you'd contribute towards their growth and their teams. Your life's inspiration can come from a book, a mentor, your family, a celebrity, an author - anyone! Talk to the interviewer about who has inspired your life and what about them inspires you so.

"I find inspiration in a variety of people and things. I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me has been my grandmother. She always had a smile on her face no matter how hard she worked, and she loved everyone. She was well respected and always gave more than she received. I try to live as she did as much as I can."
