questions on MBA app

Ok, so this question came up:
"ask and answer the one question you wished we had asked..."

Firstly, any suggestions, maatherchods? I've given it a many hours of thought, but just can't think of a hardball question. maybe i should reconsider the MBA!
second, is it better to ask a fun, unusual question (what's your favourite position and why? do you think women should be allowed to work in fields other than prostitution? (its niccee. i like. you like?), etc) or stick to the biz-related, accomplishment questions??

suggest

 

Something philosophical maybe?

i.e, If you had to pick only one personal trait to vastly outweigh the other, would it be intelligence or ambition, and why?

To be honest, I think the question is really just an opportunity for you to address any accomplishment that you had which the application does not allow you to talk about. This question was the last question I was asked in my last interview for a company that extended me an offer. Personally, I found their interview process very thorough and I really didn't have anything additional to add (I tried to weave all my accomplishments into my answers to their other questions). I used the question as an opportunity to reiterate my strengths and really drive home what distinguishes me. I know this probably doesn't help you much but maybe it will add some insight as to how you wish to answer the question.

I agree completely.
