No one is saying you have to ask standard everyone look up the answer on google. (Don't do this btw, interviewers know the canned answer.)

A good interview/interviewer tries to verify the depth of skills and experience on the resume and get a sense of the candidates character and personality (which are two different things).

Yes, watching how they treat the receptionist is a valid data point but hardly determinate.  Though my assistant gives me a full report on anyone walking through the door whether I want it or not.

I would much rather hear you talk about your past work, anything you are passionate about, professional goals, and what you think you can bring to the table.

You have the option of following up if you hear something that might suggest they have an attitude problem or other potential toxic behaviors.

One I like is, "Tell me about the last time you had to teach someone something."

Possible follow ups:

Did they get it at first?
Why do you think they were having trouble?
What did you do next?
What questions did they ask?
