"I would put in the work necessary to adapt to them and work with them, and once a rapport was established, I would help them by informing them they were difficult to work with and give them an opportunity to adapt as well."

This question aims to assess how collaborative you are, even with those who prove challenging to communicate with or to work with. It is incumbent on the stronger communicator to adapt their communication style to those who are less skilled or less emotionally mature than themselves. Their ideal candidates "can demonstrate sound interpersonal, communication and relationship-building skills and thrive working as part of a team." When answering this question, display your professionalism and adaptability while focusing on the big picture and prioritising the team's goals.
