This question assesses your integrity by evaluating how honestly you present your answer and how your concept of integrity aligns with theirs. "You live our values every day, always acting with integrity and in the interest of the whole firm. You speak up for what is right, especially when it feels difficult or uncomfortable and you're willing to challenge the status quo."

HireVue's intelligence platform combines "video interviews with predictive, validated IO science and artificial intelligence. HireVue augments human decision-making in the hiring process and delivers higher quality talent, faster." When answering their questions, especially concerning your integrity or truthfulness, answer as sincerely as you can. Some non-verbal cues the assessment vendor will use to evaluate your honesty are stroking your chin and covering your mouth or your eyes, gaze avoidance, the direction of your eyes, excessive fidgeting such as restless foot and leg movements, frequent body posture changes, and grooming behaviors such as playing with hair or pressing your fingers to lips. Keep your body language open, your tone steady, even, and consistent with your statements.

"To me, integrity means more than honesty. It means credibility. Think about the different uses of that word and how it applies to other things. For example, if you look at a building and say it has structural integrity, you can trust it to keep standing and hold up under even the most strenuous circumstances. I look at my integrity the same way. If I give you my word on something or pride myself on a trait that is integral to my character, then that defines me, and you can trust it. So for me, integrity means standing tall, steady, unwavering, and staying true to my word. If it is integral to my character, it is one of the building blocks of my character and what defines me. Honesty, honor, commitment, being true to my word, and doing the right thing."
