How much to write/say when a friend uses you as a professional reference?

Got emailed by a background check company.

Asks questions like,

What would you say is his/her greatest strength?,

What could he/she do to improve their job performance?.

How did s/he get along with his/her associates?, ... etc.

How much is enough or is there some sort of recommended # of things to say?
