Question 24 of 26

Some people have a hard time taking instructions while others will do anything someone asks of them. Where do you fit on this dimension?

In this scenario, you are basically being asked whether you are going to resist company policy at every turn or blindly follow whatever your supervisor says, whether it is aligned with policy or not. You obviously want to fall somewhere in the middle between listening and following directives but keeping company policy at the forefront of your mind at all times.

      Answer Example

      "I would say that I fall somewhere in the middle between those two extremes. I definitely want to listen and learn from superiors who have more experience than me, but I also want to make sure that what I'm being directed to do is safe and aligns with company policy. I strive to take what I've learned and apply it to new situations as much as possible, while also relying on the experience of others."
