What to expect in a Floor Trader interview?

I've got an upcoming interview for an entry level Floor Trader position with a market making firm. I'm coming from outside of the trading industry and want to be as prepared as possible, but given the uniqueness of the role (being directly on an exchange floor) I'm having trouble finding info about what the interviews will be like. 

 Is there anything I should be expecting aside from mental math/brainteasers/other typical prop trading questions? I've looked over plenty of info about typical prop trading interviews but I'm struggling to find much info about floor/pit trading interviews in particular. If anyone has any guidance/insights to share it would be much appreciated.
