The interview question I find most enlightening is: “What core values guide your decisions, and what's an example of a time they were strained?” “How did you navigate that tension?” Silence is the most revealing answer.

why is silence the most revealing answer - is it bc they haven't thought about their core values or because they can't come up with a situation of being strained? Also are you then always looking for someone who's core value align with yours more or are you looking for a great way they navigate the tension?

Yes to all of the above. It quickly reveals a lot about how they navigate life. There's no judgment in it, just discovery about whether we’d make optimal partners. Goes for founders and new hires. Values alignment is the #1 most important thing in a fruitful long-term relationship.

Piggybacking my other response, I think if you want value alignment you might get a rushed response in an interview that is mixed of their actual values and the ones they think you want to hear. Which I suppose is revealing, but could just be pressure. If you want to get to know someone, meet them on their terms

I agree. It's not perfect. But it's a perfect starting point within the time constraints.
