The interviewer is trying to assess your skill level, and how much of your experience is learned and how much is applied. When preparing for a researcher role, your interviewer is likely to ask about your preferred approaches and the technical tools you're familiar with to perform your job.

Prepare in advance by brushing up on what you learned and applied in your education experience. Highlight any analytical, observational and interpersonal skills. Go deeper and examine your strengths and skills that could be applied, and suggest you are a quick learner and apt to learn any new methods quickly and effectively.

"Well, there are definitely different means and sources I will turn to, but I am something of a research nerd. Not just with data analysis, but with any and everything. Once I start asking questions, that leads to more questions and I can't stop until I have a full grasp of the big picture. This started a long time back when I was consulting with my professor on a paper I was working on that later evolved into part of my thesis in college. But I presented some findings to her, and my professor handed them back to me, explaining there were too many unanswered questions. She told me not to come back until I had looked at it from every angle. This changed my worldview and now there is no going back."
