When was the last time you received feedback, and how did it impact you?
This question tests your emotional intelligence and whether you respond defensively to feedback or can objectify the feedback delivered, regardless of how effective the messaging was, and thereby take advantage of any potential growth opportunity to be gained from it. PwC described the environment they have to offer as "a culture based upon continuous learning. We'll provide the opportunity to challenge yourself on milestone development programs and enjoy unparalleled opportunities for upskilling. In return, we ask that you'll be curious and agile, with a thirst for learning. You'll request and act on feedback, adopting a growth mindset to continuously develop and upskill yourself to remain relevant and trusted to our clients and be as effective as you can be."
PwC details their development approach as emphasizing "frequent, informal feedback against their principles to maximize strengths, quickly close gaps and drive learning in real-time. The combination of these attributes helps our people bring their best self to work and to inspire their colleagues and clients to do the same. It also means that PwC people will be strongly and uniquely positioned to meet the challenges of the future wherever their careers might lead them."
When your words don't match your gestures, your gestures will reveal the truth. So, to assess whether this subject makes you uncomfortable or if you are afraid of admitting to your mistakes, the algorithm will study your performance for signs of discomfort or dishonesty. Verbal cues they'll look for may include repeating a question before answering, speaking in sentence fragments, displaying a change in speech pattern, irregular speech, and rising and falling tone. Maintain eye contact and confident body language, be comfortable, and speak from the heart.

"I always welcome feedback, and regardless of how the feedback is delivered, I take it to heart and learn what I can from it. Feedback rarely arrives unsolicited, so I am proactive in seeking feedback. I am super driven to grow and improve."
