It’s a non-technical question that let’s me have some insight into very technical (engineers) people.

A great answer will show creativity, relevance to the business and position, and personality and self-awareness. For instance, consistent and clear communication with clients is a phenomenal super power for someone in engineering. Occasionally we even find people more fitted to other positions than that for which they’re interviewing, due to the passion in their superpower!

A poor answer is overly literal, overly technical, or opposing the needs for the position. I once had someone say flying, with no hint of humor and no further comment. While I prodded for more information, we work in an exceptionally fast-paced environment, and need quick thinkers who can handle the challenges of emerging technologies with a little humor!
