I have been asked this question during my own interview with a top firm (which I passed and received offer).
Other than hobbies, you can also consider:

• Tell the interviewer about what drives you, what were the motivations behind some of your choices like career switches
• Tell the interviewer what kind of person you are, what you like or dislike to do, e.g. planning itinenary for every family/friend trip, or whatever fits you as long as it doesn't backfire
• A story that can embody a top quality that makes you a great candidate, e.g. maybe you like some social activities and build your client relationship via those social activities

There could be many potential answers. Think about how they can bring out the qualities in you that can make you an outstanding candidate.

Hello Leonie,

One of the things that interviewer likes to probe on is about your hobbies. THey like to see that a candidate represents themselves wholly as a person, with things to do outside of work.
This is a crucial part to be prepared in order to pass the Airport Test successfully.

It also often helps as an iceebreaking techniques when trying to establish relationships with clients, a crucial consulting skillset.

Hope it helps.

Kind regards,

Dear Leonie,

I prefer to tell some crazy stories about myself. This could be associated to my social life, my sports or my hobbies. For example, one of the stories I've mentioned is that:

When I was starting in University, we, together with my friends, went for food 100 km from Bavarian city to another in Austria. It was great walk, and we also learned the limits of our bodies, and we had a lot of fun. But the only thing that matters here is, how convincing you are. And also, it is a great opportunity to bring your interviewer to smile or to laugh.


Best,
André

Hi,

This question is very rare. However, you should always have an interesting example from your extracurricular activities that you can share
