How do you exercise logic?
The interviewer would like to know that you can exercise logic and good judgment. As PwC advertises, "Today's dynamic business environment requires analytical thinking, fact-based decision making, and collaborative action." Define your approach, philosophy, and formal process to logical thinking and data analysis.
"I exercise logic every day, and my reasoning skills are strong. I have formal processes in place when making a client plan, and I also use past cases to come to logical conclusions in tougher situations. Logical thinking is all about putting the pieces together. I do a lot of IQ and mental exercises in my spare time. The activities seem fun, but they also improve my logic and reasoning skills. I have trained myself to think in conditional statements so that my brain automatically searches for the logic in any situation."
"I look at everything analytically. I start by taking everything apart in my mind, then reorganizing all the pieces. I determine what is integral and what is extraneous and prioritize. I then take it a step further and get the input of other key players to identify what they value most about the subject at hand. With that information, I remove everything else and make fact-based decisions based on those key components."
