SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 40

SSC CHSL - 22 Nov 2025 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q40

You are interviewing a candidate who answers perfectly but behaves arrogantly. What should influence your judgement?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer: C) A balance of both competence and humility.

Rationale:

As an interviewer, your goal is not only to see how much knowledge someone has, but also to see how that person will fit in with your team or organization.

Competence: This ensures that the candidate can perform the job efficiently.

Humility: This is essential for teamwork, learning ability, and a healthy workplace environment. An arrogant employee, no matter how talented, can disrupt team harmony.

Therefore, striking a balance between a candidate's knowledge (competence) and their behavior (humility) is crucial for making a correct decision.
