This question aims to assess your emotional intelligence by how you respond to feedback. Your interviewer wants to know whether you are receptive to feedback when it is delivered, whether you seek out feedback in the interest of developing yourself as a professional, and what you learn from and apply to your development with the information given. Johnson Controls states that, "Valuing what makes each of us unique broadens our perspectives and stimulates new ideas." They do this by "actively seeking out alternative opinions and approaches, listening respectfully to others so that we can consider and benefit from thoughts and ideas different from our own, treating people fairly and providing employees with equal opportunities based on their qualifications and skills, asking for and being receptive to feedback from others."

"Well, it all depends, of course, on how well the feedback is delivered. If the feedback is constructive, and there is valuable intel which could further my professional development, I, of course, would take it to heart, regardless of how it was delivered. Even when someone is not the greatest communicator and the messaging could be improved upon, there is often useful information to be gained. I would just hope that the person delivering the feedback would be skilled in non-defensive communication. Because that could definitely play into how that feedback would make someone feel."
