Personality Test:

First and foremost thing that an interviewer checks is communicational skills with the right pronunciation.
Then it depends upon your luck that which type of person your interviewer is. If he is a simple minded then questions will be projected towards your background, hobbies and extracurricular activities. Higher level questions will be like from current affairs and recent issues with friends.

But if your luck runs out then the interviewer will be analysing your each and every answer for clarity of expression, grasp of narrative and argument, reasoning ability, appreciation of different points of view, awareness and concern for socio-economic problems, ranges and depth of interests and personal attributes relevant to interaction with people.

Books you must refer to are:
