Whether it is a permanent role or an internship, you will receive feedback on your work. Performing the basics of your job while hoping no news equates to good news demonstrates a lack of leadership potential. So they're trying to determine if you seek feedback or wait for others to come to you. Additionally, the interviewer is curious to know how you respond to negative feedback. How you answer will inform them of your emotional intelligence and whether you're open to constructive criticism. As a professional, learning how to respond when given a performance review and any negative feedback is as important as the feedback itself.
