Behavioral
There were 3 interviews in total, starting with a Recruiter, then a District VP, and finally the Director of Development. These interviews were conducted in person (on campus), over the phone, and via Skype, respectively. For an internship, they're really focused on understanding your attitude and outlook, rather than your technical background.

First I got a call asking me to take a personality test. This test is long and it's pretty easy to fail, actually. It says about 80% of people fail it. If I had passed, the interview process would have been long and included sales pitches and meetings with senior executives.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Regarding the personality test, which answer do you think employers would prefer to hear?
