"They'd tell you the quality of my work is of the highest caliber. They'd say I am the poster child for integrity and credibility and that I'm innovative and open-minded. My old boss would look you in the eye and say that I'm the person you want on your team."

If this question makes a candidate nervous, the interviewer may wonder how honest the candidate has been about their qualifications and accomplishments. If the interviewee comes across as confident and provides a notable answer consistent with the rest of the interview, the interviewer will likely be more trusting of the candidate's answers.

Never ask the interviewer if they talked to your previous employers or what they might have said. There is no need to feel intimidated by this question. In most states, previous employers will disclose very little. Therefore, it is likely they do not know how you will answer. This is an opportunity to share your accomplishments. Answer with confidence and describe the feedback your previous employer gave you.
