Are you a Cat person or a Dog person?

How many trees are there in NYC?
Depends what you are testing for. Your firm should have some specific guidance around this to ensure some standardization. Also, you can easily Google lists of 50 or 60 questions commonly used in consultant interviews.
@m1 - Mario kart question is BRILLIANT altho I would distinguish between which character do you choose for race vs battle. Can potentially tell a lot about management style
@PwC1, I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine
SC1, what is wrong with the Indian Lion?

Always know what you what to achieve asking a question. No question should be asked “just because”.
I like to ask:
1. when was the last time you laughed really hard? (Can they laugh about themselves?)
2. What part of your job do you like the most? Which not? (Better than the classical weakness and strength question)
3. Tell me three things I can not read in your CV! (Out of the box, getting to know them even deeper behind the paper)
4. What are you most passionate about? (Desire / passion)

What’s your spirit animal?
A previous teammate of mine joked that if anyone ever answered “African lion,” he’d hire that person on the spot
@E1 nothing wrong! That’s just what my teammate said. Probs didn’t realize there are other lions I’m South Asian so I have a soft spot for the Asiatic lion :)
All-time favorite question I've been asked was "What's your preferred way to load a dishwasher, and why?"
M2 with the cool questions. Just interviewed with 4 people today, all behavioral questions - discuss a time when I used data to support my work, a time when I implemented something and how did I go about it, a time when communication got in the way, a time when I influenced a stakeholder and how. Blah, blah, blah - how about a time when I completely lost interest in the company and people because they couldn’t pepper in any interesting or creative questions. Ask away, but don’t go too far!
