If you hire introspectively smart people you end up with workers who:
1. Take time to reflect
2. Appear content
3. Avoid jealousy by using their own strengths
4. Easily find a fit on any project
5. Laugh about their weaker areas
6. Act ethically
7. Rarely worry
8. Continually grow new skills
10.Encourage more than criticize
Here are interview questions that would ensure introspectively -together workers are hired?
Ask:
1. How do you find time to think and relax on busy days?
2. What would others say about your level of contentment?
3. How do you view people who achieve more than you?
4. What steps do you take to mix in with teams for a project?
5. What are your weaker areas and how do you handle these at work?
6. What was your last ethical dilemma and how did you solve it?
7. What do you tend to worry about most?
8. When was the last time you learned a new major skill?
9. What do you think of cynics and how do you handle cynicism at work?
10. What would people say about your ability to encourage and critique others?
Would you add any other question to make sure you end up with introspectively smart workers?
