Any question that's pertinent to your ability to do the job, really,
and those questions are a lot rarer than they should be. Far too many interviewers just pick something at random from the Fisher Price Big Book of Interview Questions ("What would you say is your biggest weakness?", "Would you say you were a team player?", "Where do you see yourself in five years' time?" and other idiotic ways to waste an interviewee's time).
(, Thu 11 Oct 2018, 10:29, archived)
I like the 5 years' time one
because it tells you whether people have actually thought about their future, or are just plodding along doing any old shit. And you can say "it depends on the opportunities available to be from my employer", and ask them directly what sort of promotion/training schemes they have in place.
(, Thu 11 Oct 2018, 10:31, archived)
It's totally industry-dependent, though.
If I'm hired as a translator as part of a team of translators working for a team supervisor, anyone who asks that question will be expecting and hoping to hear that I want to be the supervisor five years down the line, but I have no interest in managing people.

They never sent me a contract to sign, went silent on me for six months, then suddenly dumped an URGENT project on me with a completely ridiculous deadline.

Scaphism
The Persians outvie all other barbarians in the horrid cruelty of their punishments, employing tortures that are peculiarly terrible and long-drawn, namely the 'boats' and sewing men up in raw hides. But what is meant by the 'boats,' I must now explain for the benefit of less well informed readers. Two boats are joined together one on top of the other, with holes cut in them in such a way that the victim's head, hands, and feet only are left outside. Within these boats the man to be punished is placed lying on his back, and the boats then nailed together with bolts. Next they pour a mixture of milk and honey into the wretched man's mouth, till he is filled to the point of nausea, smearing his face, feet, and arms with the same mixture, and so leave him exposed to the sun. This is repeated every day, the effect being that flies, wasps, and bees, attracted by the sweetness, settle on his face and all such parts of him as project outside the boats, and miserably torment and sting the wretched man. Moreover his belly, distended as it is with milk and honey, throws off liquid excrements, and these putrefying breed swarms of worms, intestinal and of all sorts. Thus the victim lying in the boats, his flesh rotting away in his own filth and devoured by worms, dies a lingering and horrible death.
