What is the most important question to ask in a job interview?

I believe that the team is the key to the success of any project. I am deeply proud of our team at Trillion Technology, each member of which is a top specialist and worthy person at the same time. Being a CEO I conduct all final interviews and try to do it in a friendly and lively way. My favorite interview question is Imagine that you need to choose between a telescope and a microscope for your birthday gift. What choice you will make and why? Would be interesting to know about your favorite and even weird interview questions from the comments. And, of course, don't forget to let us know your telescope/microscope choice

Are you facing false positives during user interviews?

I m often finding huge difference between what people say and how they really behave. I m talking here typically about user research & feedback. For example when user explains how he use specific feature and then we found out from application data that he didn t use the feature at all. Outputs from user interviews and hard analytics data are two different worlds. From my findings people often want to be seen better and also want to satisfy you so they are typically more positive about the product than the reality really is. Knowing this Does it make sense to interview your users? And how do you avoid the risk of false positives from interviews? We at https://aimful.io are really struggling with this

During interviews, how do you test for speed of execution of a candidate?

I believe execution trumps ideas when you are at a very early stage startup. How does one test this skill during an interview when hiring for non-technical roles, especially for growth hires?
