Types of questions in interviews

 In interviews there are many different factors which affect questions, this determines the result and response of the question. For example, one major type of questions in interviews is closed-ended interview questions, these types of questions often call for simple, informational answers such as yes or no. These questions can help you to gain basic information about the interviewee.

Examples of closed questions...

Are you comfortable with this setup?

Are you comfortable with you're answers being shared?

Are you happy to answer all questions?

Another main type of question is open-ended questions. Open-ended questions require thought and oblige the job seeker to reveal attitudes or opinions. Open-ended questions cannot be answered with a yes or no response, or with a static response. They are phrased as a statement which requires a longer response.

Examples of open questions...

How would you approach this problem?

What do you think is the best solution?

How do you feel about your current state?

Hypothetical interview questions are another type of interview question. They invite the interviewee to resolve or predict a future problem or situation. These questions are most useful when framed in the context of actual relative situations.

Examples of hypothetical questions...

How do you think the issue of men's mental health will resolve?

Do you think male suicides will continue to rise or fall over the next decade?

In the what do you think should happen to resolve the issue?
