ooo
 
How should i answer these questions? If i really want a job, should i answer objectively? saying that i DO react well to critisim? or honestly and saying that I acctually don't?

and how much influence does these questions have? I have encounterd a form that ask these questions (or very similar) and i am not always sure on how to answer.

a good answer to the critisism question would be:
I listen to what other have to say and if I disagree I say "I respectfully disagree, but " and explain my case.

you don't have to just take it, you can defend yourself if you do it respectfully and diplomatically.

other sugestions?

It is one of the most difficult questions to answer on a job interview.
laborfinder thanks for the suggestion, I find it very well put!
