Mckinsey changed its "courageous change" prompt to "growth". The growth prompt asks you about a time when you had to rapidly learn something to tackle a challenge. I wanted to talk about a time when I changed my living situation and how I adapted to that, but would that story be appropriate? Or should I focus more on a time when I acquired a technical skill? My story for the latter is a little shaky, so I'd prefer the former.

I can't reply to your second comment, so I'm replying here. I do have an idea of what I want to talk about for that. I just wanted to clear up if the answer had to be about a hard skill. Thank you for replying.
Sure. What is critical here is that it is a significant challenge at a personal level / is something of great significance (even if personal) and that you can have clear achievements and results at the end. One has to consider that the bar his high at MBB

Would a story about adapting to a new environment be appropriate for the Mckinsey Growth PEI

It can work, but it has to be a significant challenge, which isn't clear from your description. Can you provide more details?
