MIT 推荐信中的两个问题

MIT 推荐信中有两个问题如下：

1.Please give an example of the applicant's impact on a person, group, or organization.

2.Please give a representative example of how the applicant interacts with other people.

我的推荐人问有什么区别，我也不是很清楚，特贴此请教朋友指点一下！

是不是：1.问的是申请人对别人或组织的影响，而2 问的是双向的影响?是不是1，2问的除了影响一个是单向的，一个是双向的外，没有什么区别？还是1，2问的分别反映申请人不同方面的能力呀？如若是这样的，是有哪些方面的不同呀？

谢先！

1 would be results focused, how did (hopefully positive) changes come about as a result of the applicants.  What did the applicant do and how did it affect the end results?

2 is more concerned with the applicant's behavior a personal level.  For example, the level of respect the applicant has for people.  Is the applicant pleasant to work with?  Does the applicant take feedback from people well and follows up with concrete actions? etc. etc.

Good luck!
