Salaam all, here is a list of commonly asked residency interview questions:

Tell me about yourself...What are your strengths/weaknesses? What are your hobbies? Why do you like this specialty? When things go wrong, how do you deal with it? Are you more detail oriented or do you see the big picture? If you had a disagreement with a nurse/attending, how would you deal with it? Which type of patient is the most difficult to deal with and how would you handle such a person? If you could not practice medicine what would you do? Where are you from/could you adapt well here (asked if where you are from is different from where you are interviewing -eg. urban/rural, etc...
