Economist Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hello, I haven't been practicing MMI for very much and feel that all my answers are such a cookie-cutter answer. I feel that my answers are now becoming "good" but they are not "amazing". I feel like I'm answering it with good amount of consideration and looking at many different perspectives and taking things into concern. However it's sort of boring. I never bring in my life-experience to the answer because I feel like I don't have enough time to, or that it's not really needed. Is it BAD for your answers to be cookie-cutter?

future_doc Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 There is no such thing as cookie-cutter answers for the MMI. The key is to be authentic and cover the ground and it appears you are doing this. See my Sticky in the link in my below signature, Parts 1 & 2. You bring your life experience into the answer whether you realize it or not, as even when you do not refer to it directly, this has prepared you and helped give you context.

apache Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 imo cookie cutter anything sucks, but that's just me, eccentricity isn't a bad thing, neither is risk... if you can pull it off... or in my case to prevent going insane from boredom, lol... do what you're comfortable most doing, we all have different strengths, I suck being cookie cutter, serious, I just zone out, in toastmasters i get bored even doing prepared speeches, I love long impromptu ones, which are actually easier to me than a prepped speech... which is why i only ever semi-prep even major speeches in the real world, i need flexibility and can handle it (not necessarily better, sticking to structure is hard for me, I can think on my head easier than sticking to packaged speeches... seriously, we're all wired completely differently.
