Your question is Changing Your Mind Under Pressure. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

You need to log in / sign up to chat or submit.

Problem

Describe a time when you had your mind set on something, but someone else changed your mind. Explain what you originally believed, what information or perspective caused you to reconsider, how you responded, and what happened afterward. We are probing for intellectual humility, openness to feedback, and the ability to make sound decisions rather than defend an initial position. Strong answers should describe a specific situation, explain the other person's reasoning, show how you evaluated the new information, and include the resulting impact and lesson learned.
