> I really like questions with maximalist qualifiers like "tell me about your best X.” If it's not good, you know that their best isn't good enough. Note that this approach, when not supplemented by other questions, favors outlier great results over consistent good results. E.g.: Distribution A: 3, 2, 3, 2, 2, 1, 100, 2, 1, 3; MAX(A) = 100 Distribution B: 72, 73, 78, 79, 44, 75, 78, 79, 78, 79; MAX(B) = 79
