We recently ran an SBT on a Glassdoor survey about weird interview questions. Among the top were, “How many cows are in Canada?” and “Pick two celebrities to be your parents.”
We asked readers to share their own odd interview inquiries.
Here’s one that is definitely original:
“I like, ‘What’s your favorite fish?’”
“The correct answer is, ‘Huh?’”
“Anyone who doesn’t stop and think about the question, but simply comes up with something, may be someone who often jumps to conclusions when they shouldn’t.”
Thank you for sharing, SBT reader!

Wouldn’t it also be acceptable to answer, “favorite to eat? favorite pet? what do you mean by favorite fish?”
