An interview conducted with prepared questions.
An interview that follows a fixed protocol for gathering information in which the interviewer asks standard questions and codes the answers in accordance with predefined criteria.
a formal, systematic, and standardized interview process in which all candidates are asked the same pre-established, job-related questions in the same order
a pre-planned method of interviewing using job-specific, behaviorally-based questions designed to predict job performance
A type of interview examination in which the candidate is given written questions for review at the oral examination site prior to interview by the panel. The candidate then presents his/her responses to the questions during the interview.

The benchmarks provide behaviorally-specific examples of what constitutes high, medium, and low levels of proficiency. In each structured interview, the applicant is asked the same questions in the same sequence, and his or her responses are scored according to the predetermined criteria or benchmarks.

A data collection method in which an interviewer reads a standardized interview schedule to the respondent and records the answers. (Not to be confused with an in-depth interview.)

A structured interview (also known as a standardised interview or a researcher-administered survey) is a quantitative research method commonly employed in survey research. The aim of this approach is to ensure that each interviewee is presented with exactly the same questions in the same order. This ensures that answers can be reliably aggregated and that comparisons can be made with confidence between sample subgroups or between different survey periods.
