Discuss your views and/or experiences on how question types can effect the mood of the interview, the tone and tempo of an interview, the pace of the interview, the results of the interview, or any other effect you believe it may have.

Open-ended questions, closed-ended questions, behavioral questions, situational questions, and probing questions can all be used appropriately towards getting the information you want from an applicant.

However, for best results, most interviewers will choose to use a mix of these different question types to achieve the right information balance for the role they are interviewing applicants for. The most important things are that your questions are designed well in the chosen style, your questions are job related, and your questions are not potentially inappropriate or illegal in what they are asking.

Discuss your views and/or experiences on how question types can effect the mood of the interview, the tone and tempo of an interview, the pace of the interview, the results of the interview, or any other effect you believe it may have. You can approach this from either the interviewer or the applicant point of view, or both.
