The HireVue algorithm will evaluate you for your consistency and your non-verbal cues will hold more weight than what you're vocalizing. It will interpret this as the speaker's true feelings, intentions, and attitudes. So not only do you want to ensure your answers are consistent throughout your interview, but your performance as well. When words and statements are incongruent with your tone, facial expressions, or mannerisms, this reveals limited emotional intelligence or burnout syndrome. It suggests a lack of self-awareness of one's nonverbal cues as being inconsistent with your narrative.
