Did you mean to reply to me? I am not committing the Fundamental Attribution Error.
- rexpop 4y agoYou sure are! Presuming that this behavior can be "weeded out" because it's a fundamental attribute of the candidate, rather than a behavioral response to the working environment is a perfect example of the error.
- remram 4y agoI tend to agree with the parent. I am a rather shy person who did not naturally talk much during meetings and I had to train to be able to elaborate on simple questions for hiring interviews, because that is what is expected in the interview process. The goal of a hiring interview is to find out as much as possible about you, not to get yes/no answers to pointed questions, and making your interviewers come up with more and more questions to make you keep going is sure to leave a bad impression and cost you the job. People who talk at length during hiring interviews are not necessarily "people who talk at length in meetings", they are doing that because that's what hiring interviews are about. You are misattributing cause.
