Behavioral Interviews

What kind of question should I expect from a behavioral interview?
I have a half hour interview with a mining company for a technical job and they’re gonna ask me 2 behavioral questions. Does anyone have any idea what category these questions may be in and if I’m seriously supposed to ramble on for like 10 minutes for each question?
These are some behavioral questions.
Examples:
Do you take criticism well?
When someone is wrong, do you always tell them so?
Can everyone usually tell when you are in a bad mood?
Easy enough to answer,unless the interviewer asks you to further elaborate on your answers.
