Top 10 most bizarre interview questions heard by candidates
20 August 2019

What’s the weirdest question you’ve ever asked a candidate? We bet it can’t beat ‘Where do you see Arnold Schwarzenegger in five years’ time?’…
This is just one of the 10 most unusual interview questions to come out of a survey of 2,000 working adults in the UK, conducted by recruitment giant Adecco.
Other questions featured in the list include:
- Can you sing the theme tune to Captain Pugwash?
- Have you ever seen an invisible man?
- How do you build a tower out of spaghetti?
- How many elephants can you fit in your car?
- How would you climb out of a giant bucket?
- How would you respond to a random person asking to lick your armpit?
- What side of the bed do you sleep on?
- Why are manhole covers round?
- Who is more important – Father Christmas or the Tooth Fairy?
