The Accenture Internship Program is a competitive opportunity. As they scout for viable candidates, they want to get to know you and your individual strengths. Gaining insights into your personality will help them determine how well you'll fit into their environment.

Perform research and learn as much as you can about the program, about Accenture, and the opportunities offered. Next, you'll want to perform appropriate research on yourself, what your core values are, how those align with Accenture's Internship Program, and what you have to offer them. From there, you should be able to construct an in-depth answer.

Kevin Downey

Accenture is looking for candidates who are versed in their core values and have the knowledge, skills, and capabilities to weave them into their work. Their core values are; Client Value Creation, Best People, One Global Network, Integrity, Respect for the Individual, and Stewardship.

It's important to know what Accenture stands for. Find ways to align yourself with those values at each stage of the application process. The application process involves several immersive online assessments comprising a personality assessment test, situational judgment tests, a numerical reasoning test, and either in-person or virtual reality job simulation tests. Many of these will be multiple choice essays. Most of these assess your personality profile and your basic skills.

"I grew up in Poughkeepsie, NY. I built my first computer when I was 8 years old and created my first app when I was 12. In high school, I won several consecutive science awards and graduated valedictorian. Since then, tech has been a passion for me, and the primary focus of my pursuits."
