This is the right answer, because this is a trick question. Most people think that's an inappropriate answer because it doesn't answer the question so it shows a lack of self awareness or even disrespect, but the truth is, if you answer this, you are talking shit about yourself. Don't ever do that. Don't give them a reason to not hire you, they probably already have a reason to not hire every candidate, so don't worsen your chances by giving them another reason not to hire you by bringing up your bad habits.

Also, answering this question by stating some kind of strength badly disguised as a weakness will make you look like a dumb faggot who thinks he's outsmarting everyone even though you aren't and you're transparent. Don't make up some gay cliche tryhard shit about how your greatest weakness is this thing that actually shows how great you are like you care too much or you work too hard or something.

I was too autistic to get through the interviewing process. I failed probably 30 interviews. All my lazy friends in college who cheated and got bad grades and only partied got good jobs easily. I had to beg my uncle for a shitty job in the middle of nowhere, but at least its government so the benefits are good I guess. Please god kill me.

lmao I love asking this question in interviews. It's such a great filter for both autists and assholes.

Really the purpose of the question is to see if the candidate can be introspective and give an honest evaluation of themselves. Autists are incapable of introspection, and anyone who tries some bullshit "here's a weakness that's actually a strength bet you didn't see that one coming" answer is an asshole.

my strategy is to tell them something I have a difference of opinion on which some people may disagree with.

for example in tech I say, "well I tend to stick with tried and true technologies. occasionally I am a latecomer to new import developments."

often they agree with your choice while also seeing you recognize it has limitations.
