If you don’t know what that is, ask for clarification. Remember most interviewers are not trained in the art and many have no idea what is ‘legal’ or illegal.

When you put yourself in the shoes of the interviewer, you will know what their intention is most of the time and you will do a much better job of answering their questions.
