How many questions total for the DMI?

[crt-crt]

I have looked for the total numbers of questions that come up in the DMI on the forum but can't seem to find any? I have only found what questions are likely to come up. If anyone could let me know of how many questions there are total would be great!

Also, how are they doing the DMI's now? I know over COVID they were doing them online, has this changed?

Thanks in advance!

It's not like the MMI with a set number of questions. I'd say the average sits somewhere between 5 and 10.

Generally they're still being done online.

When I did mine I was under the impression it was 8 questions but it was double that

I had mine for my local toc about 6 weeks ago, surprised me how many questions there were, my advice would be prepare for at least 12 and then I would think you’ll be as prepared as you can be. There’ll always be some questions which you won’t have prepared for.
Ultimately though, I got the feeling the DMI was more of a personality interview, yes here was the tick box expertise of answering the questions accurately but I think it’s more about how you and your personality would fit into the role.

This is the most accurate description of a DMI interview. I'd even wager that your experience and non-technical skills (no matter how neatly you package it in STAR format) is largely irrelevant, and all that counts is the rapport between yourself and the interview panel.
