How do you represent your unique selling points to companies at interview, when their questions were constructed to see how well you conform to industry quality norms?

On the flip side: ask average questions and get average answers.

When I'm interviewing people, I like to ask questions that allow people to deep dive on a topic they care about deeply. Like, I just ask what interesting problems they worked on recently to see how they talk in response.

An issue with this is, how do you make sure your interrogation even makes sense? I would ask them "what was important" and then let them guide my questions, but ultimately you need to gauge the sanity of their thinking some way or other...

Sanity for me means actually being able to answer the question "what was important". And, if they are value-driven, I get to find out where these values come from. (It's okay if you're not value-driven, because if you were you'd be just like me. There are other good traits...)

I will add: If you ask a question and get a non-standard answer, don't assume that it's wrong. Dig deeper to find out what they're basing it on. Similarly, find out from them whether anything about the questions felt off. Fresh eyes can have critiques outside of the lines.
