Often you will find strange questions being asked in an interview.往往你會發現奇怪的問題，被要求在接受記者採訪。 They can either be inappropriate or simply unexpected.他們可以是不恰當的，或只是意料中事。 Some examples of oddball questions are:一些例子oddball的問題是：
“What is your perception of the painting in the lobby?” “什麼是您的看法畫在酒店大堂” ？
“What would you do with a million dollars?” “你會怎樣做，與100萬美元” ？
“Can you tell a joke?” “你能不能告訴一個笑話” ？
(samples from career news) （樣本，從職業生涯新聞）

In such cases often the interviewer is trying to assess a particular trait like your attentiveness to details or overall personality.在這種情況下，往往採訪正試圖評估某一特定性狀喜歡你的注意力的細節或整體的個性。 It is always better to try to understand his real motives and answer that question after you have answered his original question honestly.它始終是更好地去了解他的真正動機和回答這個問題後，你已回答了他原來的問題，廉潔從政。 You can also use it as a opportunity to highlight the particular trait he is looking for with a small story (hopefully real).您也可以使用它作為一個機會突出，特別是特質，他是在尋找一個小故事（希望真正的） 。

Sometimes he is trying to assess your intellectual depth.有時候，他正試圖評估您的智慧深度。 One question I sometimes ask is:一個問題，有時候我想問的是：
How would you estimate the number of crows in the city?你會如何估計有多少烏鴉在城市？

The answer I am looking for is that he should explain how he will use a sample area and actually count the crows by any viable method and then how he would extrapolate.答案我尋找的是，他應該解釋他將如何使用示例面積和實際算烏鴉以任何可行的方法，然後他會如何推斷。 A more intelligent candidate would venture into how he can make the sample size statistically significant.一個更智能的候選人將創業到他如何可以使樣本大小統計學意義。

“What would you do with a million dollars?” “你會怎樣做，與100萬美元” ？
Personally I think it is an amusing question and would use such questions as an opportunity to highlight one of my positive traits which I want to highlight to the interviewer.我個人認為這是一個有趣的問題，並會利用這些問題為契機，突出我的一個積極的性狀，其中我要強調，以採訪。 Something along the lines of starting a business is a better idea than telling them how you would spend it all on a vacation (and booze) on an exotic island with your significant other.一些大致相同的創業是一個較好的思想，比告訴他們你如何會花，它的所有休假（和booze ）對異國情調島與您的其他顯著。

Overall I think such questions present an opportunity to create a positive impression with your interviewers.整體我認為這些問題提供一個機會，創造一個積極的印象，與您的採訪。 Never leave them unanswered, leverage such questions.從來沒有離開他們的答复，槓桿作用等問題。

How to answer inappropriate interview questions如何回答面試的問題，不適當的

You may sometimes be asked personal questions or questions which forces you to indirectly reveal personal information like asking about the number of children you have or how long you have been married (clearly inappropriate).你有時可能會問個人問題或問題，你的力量，以間接洩露個人信息一樣，問的是有關子女的數目，或您有多久，你已結婚（顯然不恰當的） 。

There are two distinct strategies you can take.有兩個不同的策略，您可以採取的。 You can try to guess the interviewer’s real motives (like your ability to balance life and work) and answer the hidden question instead of the posed one.您可以嘗試去猜測採訪的真正動機（如你有能力，以平衡生活和工作） ，並回答隱藏的問題不是該所構成的一。

Another approach, which is more generic in nature, is to use a disarming smile and politely reply that you would prefer not to answer this question.另一種做法，這是比較通用的性質，是利用解除微笑和禮貌的答复您不想回答這個問題。
