Favorite Interview Questions

Here are seven of my favorite questions/scenarios I use in an interview:

1. What books have you read lately and what books do you recommend to your peers?
2. Describe a technical philosophy you believe has value in the workplace (some examples might be: test-driven development, extreme programming, anything really).  After they answer I tell them that I disagree and that I would like them to convince me otherwise.
3. I describe a scenario that pits their loyalty vs. their ethical sensibilities and ask them to make a choice (I'm looking for the ethical decision).
4. Given a team of 5 people, including yourself, what personalities you would choose for your teammates?
5. If you were suddenly independently wealthy, what would you do with the rest of your life?
6. What are the top three goals you would like to achieve in the next 6 months, year, 5 years?
7. I tell them that I would like them to role-play as my manager and I describe a scenario where I made a trivial mistake and as my manager they must discuss the situation and determine a fair reprimand/outcome.
