Owning up to a genuine weakness
Question
What is your greatest weakness?
Short answer
Pick a real but non-fatal weakness and show what you are doing about it. Avoid disguised strengths such as being a perfectionist. Describe the weakness concretely, an example of it causing a problem, and the steps you have taken that are producing improvement; self-awareness is what is being tested.
