So put on your happy face and address anything head-on and in a pleasant manner. I could be wrong but I think this was a part of that assessment. good luck.
I hate some of those questions they ask at those things.

"Tell me about a situation where you..."

Every day at work! what the hell do you think I had problems with my boss for? He cut my hours cause I made him look bad in his eyes!

You cannot say that though. haha.

Yep, bosses like that are just plain near-sighted! Can't see far enough ahead not to cut off their own nose.

I love those questions! They're pointed and I love to tell stories. I usually knock those questions out of the park. Here's one I hate:

"Tell me about yourself."

What in the heck do you want to know? "Uh, I like beer, lol."

Well, obviously, I'm not that dumb, but you get what I mean. I think they want me to try to tell them all about why I would be awesome for this job, but I don't want to risk sounding like an arrogant jackass.
