1. What do you think about the qualities mentioned?
I think that these qualities describe persons who only live for their work. While it is good to have some of these qualities, having all of them is madness.
2. Do you have some, if not all, of these characteristics?
I would say I do. Some of them could be that I am a natural researcher, I can teach anything, I’m all about efficiency, I believe honesty is the best policy, and some others.
3. Which one do you think is the easiest to do? Which one do you think is the hardest?
In my opinion, all of them are equally hard or easy to do, depending on your personality.
4. How can you become indispensable in your company?
Actually, my company wants easily replaceable people. In the world of programming, if you are indispensable, it means that you do very bad work because your work is hard for someone else to do, and it can be a problem for the company or your coworkers.
