How Descriptive Do You Have To Be During The Interview?

If its a question like "are you afraid of heights," do you just respond "no" are should you be more descriptive about it? I'm talking about all the questions by the way. Do you have a less chance of getting the job if all you did was say "yes" or "no" the whole interview? Thanks!

I think straight forward questions call for short answers. More in depth questions like "why do you want to work here?" require longer answers. Don't over think the interview. Just focus on helping the interviewer learn about you. You can always ask "Does that answer your question?" or "Is there anything else you would like to know?" Relax and you'll do fine.

Honestly, my Cedar Point interview was probably the easiest interview of my life, and I ended up just talking to my hiring manager like we were good friends.
