I offer 5 good "situation / behavior /outcome" (SBO, sometimes called STAR) questions, the key is there aren't objectively "correct" answers, you decide what behaviors you prefer (humility, risk management, bias for action, respect for chain of command, etc) and then select for answers that demonstrate them.
Interviewer tips: listen not just to the answer, but also how do they communicate, do they use deflective or passive language, ask them to elaborate a lot with lots of details (bullshitters are bad at this), let them do all the talking ("why? Tell me more" Or "and then what happened?" are all the additional prompts needed), take good notes
* tell me about a time you disagreed with someone senior to you. (After every prompt ask "How did you handle it" and "what were the results?")
* tell me about a time you failed
* tell me about a time you had too much to do and not enough time do it.
* tell me about a time you solved a problem in a way you were really proud of.
* tell me about a time you felt you were asked to do something that was outside your skillset or comfort zone.
Lots of alternative questions you could ask instead, but again the key is no right answers, and you'll get a lot more signal compared to most questions.
