What is a weakness of yours?

I believe in focusing on my strengths. I've become an avid follower of Marcus Buckingham and his 'Strengths' focused approach to work. That question always feels like a no-win proposition. Do you reveal a true weakness that has nothing to do with the job or do you have a contrived answer like the frequently used 'I'm a perfectionist?'

How have you done bad/failed in the past? (or something to that effect). Why should we hire you? Where do you see yourself in 5/10 years? etc.

I know that people who ask these standard questions have just shown me that they don't know how to interview. Some of these cliche questions are just not useful... and then I have to guess what they really want to ask... or ask them about what they're looking for. Or just give them a cliche answer back...

It worries me because they are looking for a comfortable fit for a PERSON and not a JOB.
