Those would be good examples if they had them. And many do. There's many opportunities to show individual response to situations through highschool, on sports, etc. Run the bake sale, organize tshirts, etc. I just want folks who have taken ANY initiative in their lives really at the intern level. Or had ANY real world experience. Where they've come up with an idea, talked to people about it, tried it and seen the results.
But in general the expectation I have for experience that a intern will have is pretty low. Basically if they have one relevant experience they're at average. If they've done anything else they're going to ace that section.
Less experience... I'll lean more into the code. Generally take it really easy on interns as it is their first real job.
Now for the LP questions on people with 3/5/10/15 years of experience, I've had folks with 10 years of experience with literally no examples of disagree and commit. I had one who was apparently a professional yes person. They straight up told me they would be uncomfortable bringing up any issues to their bosses with any of their boss's ideas. I ended the interview early.
