Many behavioral interview questions determine if you are an extrovert, an introvert, or something in between. There is no wrong or right answer. The interviewer wants to ascertain whether you work well with others or prefer to work solely on your own. Most people fall somewhere in the middle.

Be honest and demonstrate your self-awareness. Tell the interviewer which category you fall into and offer storytelling examples of times you've used this to your advantage and shined. Exhibit your ability to be productive in any environment. This will help them determine where you would best fit on their team.
