This is a clear example of a behavioral interview, where the interviewer asks the candidate to describe a specific past behavior or experience and the result. The focus is on assessing the candidate's competencies and skills based on their past actions. A situational judgment test would involve hypothetical scenarios, an interview without a specific structure would be unstructured, and while this is an interview, it is specifically a behavioral one.
