Higher engagement, some capability, some use. Higher engagement, higher capability, higher use. A learned behaviour is what someone can do well/ effectively but something they find draining - demonstrated because they believe it necessary, rather than through genuine preference. A potential strength is defined as an activity that a candidate shows clear willingness, desire and motivation to demonstrate, and can demonstrate some capability, but may not yet be fully developed. A strength is a combination of what someone enjoys doing, and what they re really good at. Candidates demonstrating strengths do so naturally and consistently. They are us at our peak and are easy to spot. OFFICIAL
Strengths Example Question Strengths Example Question This is an example of a strengths based question: Are you someone who considers yourself to be good at building relationships? There is no expectation or requirement for you to prepare for the strengths-based questions in advance of the interview, though you may find it helpful to spend some time reflecting on what you enjoy doing and what you do well.
