It is rather easy to measure a candidate's technical knowledge. However, having interviewed many many DBA's, I'm finding it difficult and less reliable to measure these 2 traits ...
1) Being self-driven and initiative to learn on his/her own. 2) Owning work and progressing to completion to best of his/her ability.
Thank you.

After being hired, inefficiencies on these 2 areas appear as the most common.
How do you validate these 2 traits in the interview process?
Thank you.
