According to Bain and Company, you can expect this question in your interview. This question is another way to ask what strengths you might bring to their team or what makes you unique, but it focuses on your personality or character rather than your hard skills.

"I would say that my positive attitude is one of my greatest attributes. My can-do attitude typically sets the pace and challenges others on my team to give their all, and I always motivate through positivity. I've been told by those I work with that they look forward to working with me, and our camaraderie is consistently strong. I attribute this to loving my work and those I have the pleasure of working with. I am everybody's cheerleader and a friend to all."
