Questions about self-awareness

A personal practice and its limitations.

In this 2024 interview excerpt, investor Doug Leone describes questions he uses to explore self-awareness. His approach is one personal interviewing practice, not a validated way to infer personality.

Leone says he asks whether a candidate has a sibling close in age and, if so, to describe that sibling with three adjectives and compare themselves. He believes the comparison can start a discussion about self-perception.

He suggests that the descriptions may be opposites, but the excerpt offers no evidence for a general rule about sibling personalities. Candidates’ family circumstances differ, so this question is not equally applicable to everyone.

He also asks which abilities a person believes came naturally or from upbringing, and which weaknesses they have worked to improve. His aim is to understand personal reflection beyond professional achievements.

A more inclusive version of this conversation could ask every candidate the same job-relevant question about strengths, feedback and improvement, without relying on family structure.
