This story uses a technical question (MVC vs n-tier) as an example, but conforming your answer to interviewer expectations also applies to behavioral and soft-skill questions (perhaps more so). There are some traditional corporate HR-screening questions that have flummoxed tech people since forever. Those who are savvy about people-skills in a workspace know instinctively how to answer these questions, but some techies have a very hard time with them because they're either being radically honest or awkwardly trying to second-guess what the interviewer wants to hear. The best thing you one can do is to practice. Interviewing is a skill (for both sides), it doesn't come naturally to most folks.
