Hello svsankar:

"I am in need of question bank to evaluate the different attributes
of interviewee. A few attributes like, Analytical skill and logical
reasoning; Clarity of thoughts; Conceptual clarity; Openess of mind;
Confidence level; Interpersonnel skills and team spirit etc.
The main limitation is time, it is only for 30 to 45 minutes."

Are you presuming that these traits predict job success?

We ask 318 questions of all job finalists and it takes about an hour of the applicants time on the Internet, see the list below for what we look at prior to the hire.

How many questions can you ask in 30 to 45 minutes while listening to the answers and keeping a well documented written record? Perhaps as many as 20 questions? Face-to-face interviews are not very effective for identifying future successful employees.
