You might to try the critique test. Have them present a piece of work they've done, and have a designer on your team critique it in a tough but fair manner. See how they respond to the feedback. You should be able to pick up on how collaborative they'll be from their reaction.

This is a great advice I will steal in the next interview. It is too important to see how someone works in a team and how he reacts to feedback. One can be a great IC but a very toxic team player

Specific examples > generic traits. Ask about disagreements, stakeholder feedback, tradeoffs. Portfolio walkthroughs often reveal more than behavioral answers.
