When answering questions such as these, you want to be fully self-aware of how the interviewer might perceive you, and how aligned your answer to this question is, in regards to how your peers perceive you. So never stretch the truth or relay how you wished to be perceived. It is always best to support your reply with a real-life example. If you are having trouble initially calling to mind comments others have made about their experience working with you, revisit the comments of former performance reviews you have, and be filtered in what you present.

"My co-workers would describe my attention to detail as keen. I have an eagle eye for discrepancies, whether in written communication and the smallest details. In fact, most of my coworkers ask me to look over their work, which I'll always gladly do. This was also a point of conversation in my last performance review. My manager was very pleased with the level of detail that I put into a large project recently. I put a lot of pride into my work and it shows in everything that I do."
