Have you ever stolen a pen from work?
Everyone has probably done it at least once. And since this is a fact, an interviewer is testing your honesty with this question. If you say that you’ve never taken a pen from work, the interviewer will conclude that you’re dishonest.
So, saying no is not the best decision, nor is boasting that you can easily put your hands on the company’s property. Answer simply and sincerely, “I think I took a pen from work accidentally a couple of times, like everyone else, but I usually bring it back to work because I don’t have a habit of storing pens at home.”

#1 "the interviewer will immediately realize that the person is seeking this position because they need money to support their family and themselves and that they won’t contribute to the company development at full capacity."

Kimberley,
Totally agree. companies want loyalty from the employees but don't reciprocate. As an instructor told us at TAP class (transitioning from military to civilian life), "If the company could accomplish the job without hiring you they would."

All this reads like a lot of bullsh#t psycho games. Very few are somewhat valid and straightforward questions.
Companies should maybe focus more on thinking of their prospective workers as actual people and offer a motivating workplace instead of trying to find the ones they can treat like cr#p without them ever raising a finger to change anything.

You could also say that the job seeker is dishonest by adjusting the answers to the guides shown above.
Like what exactly do you seek? A honest employee or one that will bend the truth to get the job?
I've read this stuff too for my application but just to be prepared for the expected questions. (not the engineered responses)
There's nothing worse than showing up unprepared and not showing interest and motivation for the company.
