How you answer this question will help give the reviewer a more collective view of your communication skills. Kira has structured their platform in a way that ensures their clients won't have to solely rate your competencies according to each question, but rather from the collective view, including any written materials you've submitted, beyond any written assessments you'll take.

This includes your application, your resume if you've submitted one, and any other written materials you've volunteered prior to your interview, so they can "link multiple video and written questions to gather more insight. Using only an essay or short video, it can be difficult to assess complex competencies like leadership potential, collaboration, or empathy. Question sequences allow schools to build out multi-part questions to get a deeper story on your applicants' goals or past experiences. Admissions teams can ask connected questions related to a single trait, like leadership, or probe deeper into existing content with follow-up questions. Reviewers can give a communications rating to applicants after reviewing their responses across all applicant materials, including timed responses, as well as uploaded documents, for a truly holistic view of each applicant."

"A fun fact about me. For the last three years, I organized and got sponsorship for our school talent show. As the host, I warmed up the crowd with some silly comedy and got the crowd excited about each act. Every year, the show sold out and resulted in some truly zany and usual fun. I also served as a backup disc jockey for our community college this last summer as well, which I absolutely loved doing."

Here is a rendering of what their scoring would look like for an overall communications score, taken from a screenshot from an article they posted about "Document Review, Question Sequences, and Overall Communication Scores."

"Poor: Few if any responses are adequately clear, acceptably organized, and mostly relevant to the questions. Fair: Some responses are adequately clear, acceptably organized, and mostly relevant to the questions. Good: Most responses are adequately clear, organized, and relevant to the questions. Great: Nearly all responses are clear, organized, and relevant to the questions. Exceptional: All responses are very clear, well organized, and highly relevant to the questions."
