Your interviewer will ask this question to gauge if you lean towards one aspect of the job versus another. Paperwork and filing reports can be repetitive and monotonous. They're interested if you thrive on this solitary, more introverted work and less so on the more social aspect of the job, or if you dread that work, and prefer the work with more social interaction.

"I'm indifferent to that part of the job. I take pride in my work, no matter what I'm doing, and have several systems and processes for every aspect of what I do. When you are good at what you do, you enjoy the work. So I set myself up for success for that aspect of the job a long time ago."
