This looks like an open question to get to know the candidate but in fact it's another way to fit the candidate in a box. Distinctions like leader/follower don't always make sense, they are not opposites. Programming languages, specific percentages spent coding/managing. Just a basic skill grid. The recruiter also need to see the future to decide based on a single answer if a candidate would be able to be CEO of Google. It's not clear why he would not. The question is also incredibly oriented towards the recruiter's point of view, for example why exclude the salary discussion? It seems it should be one of the major discussion points when applying for a job. Maybe I'm mistaken but I think people work for a company and not for their toy projects because of money. Focusing on starting next Monday isn't a particularly good idea either, good candidates can learn quickly and what they can't do on Monday they could probably do in a month. Well, that's a pretty bad question.
