"If You Were An Animal, What Kind Would You Be?" - When You Hear This Question, Get Up And Leave The Room Immediately!

So the interview is going well - You're in top management and have led behavioral interviews in the past. All indications are that you're knocking it dead . . . and then the person on the other end of the line (or across the table) drops a bomb:

"If you were an animal, what kind would you be?"
OR
"If you came back to life as an animal, which would you come back as?"
OR
"If you were to by chance, be reincarnated, would there be an animal you'd like to come back as?"

If you are ever posed that interview question, hang up and/or leave the room immediately. You're dealing with someone whose IQ rivals that of a Prarie Dog.

Sense of humor can make the interviewer feel good if you feel like doing that - how 'bout - "I'd want to be Top Dog."
