McKinsey / ex-Interviewer at McKinsey / I will coach you to rock those interviews

Safe choice would be to name at least some personality traits, which are required in consulting. Here is a long list, you can choose those, which work for you:

  • Structured
  • Rational
  • Forward-thinking
  • Creative
  • Team-player
  • Passionate to get things done 
  • Confident in what you do
  • Realistic
  • Motivated to stay on task no matter what
  • Flexible
  • Patient 
  • Personable

Hope this helps!

Best,
Daniel

Hi there, 

When asked such a question I would definitely select:

  • 3-4 positive traits or traits that would be considered as a quality: structured, curious, listener, concise...
  • 1-2 traits that or traits that would be more or less weaknesses but that you are trying to improve: impatient, focused on 80/20...

For each of these traits, I would try and give a specific exemple in one sentence. Indeed, anyone can be "structured", but I would demonstrate why you really are "structured". Random example: I created a list of all potential sponsors for a certain event and classified them by priority.

Hope this helps too,
