This question focuses on your emotional intelligence, and how you respond to, and move on from, your setbacks. The example you share may serve as a future job performance indicator. For example, someone who adapts and adjusts their perspective to learn from their failures is more likely to take ownership of their mistakes and less likely to repeat them. Whereas someone who tries to cover up their mistakes or failures is less likely to take responsibility, nor to learn and grow from the experience, and will probably repeat that same mistake again in the future.
