conversar con otros... (read below)

Explanation:
I really do believe in this context the word "banter" has been misused. As often happens in business language, an expression is used and only half-understand ("verbiage" for "wording," "sea change" for "complete change," etc.) This expression simply refers to the ability to converse with others to demontrate various opposing points of view. I don't see how banter could possible enter into this in any kind of formal situation. I wouldn't bother to try and render it into Spanish--the expression is incorrectly used in English.

I would say it like this: ¿Sería usted capaz de presentar la potencialidad de perspectivas opuestas en las conversaciones con otros?

Debatir especulativamente

Explanation:
www.atlantisjournal.org/Papers/24_2/prieto.pdf

otro vocablo de difícil traducción, ya que además de su significado general good humoured ridicule, "banter", según el OED— también remite a la prácticade una especie de juego discursivo o burla cortesana propia de los wits o libertinosde la época), lo que le lleva a confundir (y por tanto misconstrue más que construe)

Es una especie de "lluvia de ideas" de hablar para que "salgan" ideas, sin ser hiper racional.

Otro término sería " debatir no académicamente"
