Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tobey and Loy were asked the same questions, which indicates that the interview was structured. In a structured interview, all candidates are asked the same questions in the same order, allowing for standardized comparison of answers. This is in contrast to a nondirective interview, where the interviewer allows the candidate to guide the conversation, or a panel interview, where multiple interviewers ask different questions. Additionally, there is no indication that the interview was invalid (meaning it does not measure what it claims to measure) or conducted over the phone.
