This question is aimed at determining how you respond to feedback, and whether you proactively seek out feedback, or wait for it to come to you. How you answer could potentially reveal whether you took advantage of the feedback, regardless of how the criticism might have been communicated, what you learned from it, or whether you viewed it negatively, and responded defensively.

"Well, I have been working on curbing a habit of mine, where I can sometimes constantly need reassurance. So, I ask for feedback often. Sometimes the feedback wasn't what I wanted to hear, sure. And that's not very reassuring. In fact, it's disappointing. But, I am pretty driven, and I just learn what I can from the feedback and hope that I don't hear that particular bit of criticism a second time. Try, and try again."
