How do you evaluate your interview performance for a behavioral round?

I recently had an interview that was all behavioral questions. It is easy to assess my performance in technical rounds because the answer is either right or wrong. But this is so tricky with behavioral rounds. Answers are so subjective and right/wrong depends on the interviewers perception. How do you tackle this?

"because the answer is either right or wrong." You're screwed right there! There might be many right answers (even after optimization), and that's not enough to assess the technical part. Having bigger ideas, various thoughts, considering similar cases, generalization, design used in the answer, etc. all add up to assess the technical part.

This is definitely the case for programming based interviews. I have a chemistry background. So when I've asked about an equation then it's right or wrong answer. There is no optimization involved

Ok. Sorry then. I assumed people here are all in tech.

If someone with no context on your situations can understand what you did, contributed, and your thought process then you should be okay. Also the situations you talk about should be at the level of scope you are aiming to have at the new job.

Makes sense. That's a nice way to put it
