We've chosen this particular question for the insight it has to offer the reviewer of your assessment, regardless of it being an ice-breaker question. Every answer you provide to every question stands to yield insights into your fit for their institution or program. For example, how you answer this question could inform the assessment reviewer of whether you prioritize your studies above your social life. It could inform them of your habits, and how well you manage your time. It could inform them of how proactive you are or whether you procrastinate and get enough sleep. Each one of these could be used as performance indicators. So, even with icebreaker questions, be deliberate in what you communicate, and ensure that the message you aim to send is indeed the message your reviewer receives. As they say on Kira's website, "Keep in mind that the content of your responses is what matters most to the admissions team!"

"It depends on the time of the year. In the summers, I would say I prefer working a job that allows me to have more of a nightlife. But this is only when I am not focused on my studies. During the school year, I would say that I am more diurnal. I prefer more of an early morning to late afternoon academic schedule which allows enough time to prioritize my studies at an acceptable hour. However, I am adaptable."
