1. Competency: A competency required for the job.

2. Level: The minimal proficiency level required to be considered competent.

3. Question: The question itself for interviewers to pose to candidates.

4. Probes: Leading questions to elicit a more complete response from the candidate.

5. Additional information: Extra detail to help the interviewer asking the question.
