It's asking you to deconstruct yourself before you even begin work. You are not allowed to come into a new group of people working with your preconceived notions on how to work effectively or work well with other people, you must be asked questions that kick your brain out of work mode and start making you work on your own character instead. You are to be hazed and integrated, a threshold guardian needs to be passed. People with a reputation for getting results get to skip this step, the bottom line matters more than your character. But any company will hold up a boundary at the door to make sure you fit the mould, or at least don't sink the ship. The fundamental problem of bringing the unknown into the known has to have some boundary, what that is that makes sense usually just rides a trend wave. Character and behavioural stuff is all the rage right now. It'll pass onto other things soon enough.
