What is the best way to approach interview stations at Multiple Mini Interviews?

Multiple mini interviews are largely a way for the interviewer to assess the students personability and empathy. Most of the questions, if not all of the questions, require no knowledge - medicinal or otherwise. It best to approach the stations focusing on building rapport with the interviewer while answering the questions as honestly as possible.
Examples of questions that can be asked are common one - such as why you want to be a doctor or what about the area attacted you - or more out there questions - such as "please build a lego figure while discussing a topic of your choice" or a roleplay where you must comfort a fellow student. It is important to remember that in these tasks they are assessing your ability to adapt to situations and show empathy rather than rating your ability at these things.
