Problem

Name five things you are not. This open-ended question probes your self-awareness, humility, and ability to define how you work without relying on rehearsed strengths or weaknesses. Choose five statements that reveal meaningful boundaries, explain why each matters, and connect them to how you collaborate, make decisions, or take ownership. Strong answers are specific, balanced, and candid without becoming self-deprecating. Avoid listing obvious virtues in disguise, such as “I am not a perfectionist,” unless you explain the practical behavior behind the statement.
