The first question one should be asking is:
What relevance does the question actually have to do with the job in question?
The second question to ask is:
Will this be of benefit for the end-user population?
I find that I have no wish to join an IT related part of the organisation when it becomes obvious during the interview that they have no interest in serving the end-user community. They rather want to dictate what the end-user will be using, irrespective of all end-user needs.
So for many years, I have worked on behalf of the end-user to get them to a point that they can do their actual jobs. With the advent of large corporate IT systems, one has seen an increasing amount of null work being required of the company staff (its purpose is to feed the egos of management, instead of actually getting things done). What was that movie??
If what you are doing doesn't enable the end-user to be more productive then what on earth are you doing? Interviewers who are not focussed on building teams to solve end-user problems are failing in their jobs.
End rant.
