Dan:

I really do not think that interviewees can "game" a behavioral based interview. People who are into "gaming" are going to be poor at knowing what proper behavior is because they also tend to "game" during their work hours.

The correct answer is: "Cheating."

Go to http://tinyurl.com/5d63w to see "Excellent Sample Responses" to
"109 of the most typical interview questions (both traditional and
behavioral)."

In other words, at the same time you sent your HR people to an expensive
seminar to learn how to ask Behavioral Interview Questions, your
candidates were busy learning how to game that clever system.

... because all clever systems can be gamed. It's a lot harder to game
an open-ended conversation about professional topics with a variety of
potential colleagues.
