you put your extracurriculars on your resume tho right? if i saw 'activities' id think 'hey i love skydiving and hunting with a boomerang, hey technology is cool too!'.. more so hobbies than hey i ran this and that
I see what you're saying, but I think it could be perceived multiple ways. The exact prompt is: "Tell us about your main interests and activities in your free time."
While I did include some of my hobbies, a lot of my free time (which I personally define as the time I'm not working or sleeping) goes to the extracurriculars I've been involved in. Sure - nobody can expect you to participate in altruistic endeavors for ALL your "free time", but I think one should answer this prompt in direct proportion with how much time they actually spend on each activity outside work.
However, I can totally see someone understanding "free time" as time not spent on work, sleep or extracurriculars. All in all - this makes Blax's problem even less impactful: whichever way you answered the question, as helpme and I can attest, there's no way to perceive your response as being definitively "wrong", so to speak.
Even more reason not to worry
