Have a look at the link above for information related to behaviours.

With Civil service success profiles the idea is for the behaviours to be quite general, allowing you to shape your answers around them. Within the behaviour framework, there are key points under each behaviour which you need to demonstrate within your answer.
My advice would be to focus on what you can demonstrate and provide evidence for. What i mean by that is focus on your personal actions, what you though about, why you chose those actions and explain clearly the positive impact they had. You do not have to make everything sound perfect, you can describe difficulties within your example as long as you explain how you have overcame these.
In all behaviour examples, try to think of it in a STAR approach,
What was the situation
What did you have to achieve,
How did you plan/ organise yourself - what actions did you take - why they were important
What was the result - how your specific actions led to success
