Questions surrounding failure are aimed at assessing one's sense of determination, which in turn yields insights into one's likelihood for success. Most successful people will assert that the only way to succeed is to fail along the way, and what you learn from your failures greatly contributes to your success. Here is a testimonial from one of Kira's client institutions, where they attest to how the platform helped them identify successful applicants. "What Kira has been able to do for us is assess the applicants' motivation, commitment and drive. It allows us to know the candidate deeper, which helps us make an admission decision and feel more comfortable with that decision."

"Last year I felt pretty ambitious getting all my toughest required classes out of the way so that my senior year would be very simple and easy. But, it wasn't long before I realized the extent of my miscalculation and that I'd been a bit overzealous in what I hoped to accomplish. I had no social life, was super buried in my studies, and started feeling a bit burned out by it all pretty quickly. It was more difficult to get through my work as time went on. I still got through it, and it was a tough year. But I now have a clearer idea of how much work I can take on at one time, and that there is always a fine line between quantity and quality."
