What are business school (MBA) interviews like?

I always hear in the thread about having in-person interviews with admissions directors. I’m someone who has gone through IB recruitment before and want to know what the questions are focused on. Behavioral? Academics? Technical stuff about previous work experiences? Soft skills stuff about previous work experiences?
