"I'm a true believer in the leveling principles of balance. I'd say I have a firm foot planted in both worlds. We all have days, depending on our needs, where we are more focused on team collaboration and the social elements it offers, and there are other times where a singular focus is required for the task on hand. But putting the needs of the work involved aside, I'd definitely say I am both interpersonal and analytical."

This is another common behavioral question aimed at determining where you fall on the scale of being an extrovert versus an introvert. For some, an analytical approach is more of a singularly focused task, whereas interpersonal is more collaborative and team-oriented. Ideally, you'll want to strike a balance with both. As stated on their website, they're looking for candidates with "strong analytical skills with professional experience." Based on this description, the goal would be someone with analytical skills who also has an interpersonal approach.

Don't choose one or the other unless that is truly the case, which it rarely is in most cases. Put self-evaluative thought into your answer, rather than trying to hurry through it. Having both analytical skills and interpersonal skills will reveal some of the resources you might refer to when trying to solve complicated problems that fall outside of your comfort zone or your range of experience.
