The interviewer asks this question to examine how your self-awareness and your goals align. This also tests your honesty throughout the interview process. It's a constant challenge for the interviewer to find out whether the person being interviewed is being forthright, or doing their best to tell them what they think they want to hear about landing the job. Your consistency in how you present yourself will show the interviewer that you'll be consistent in your work performance should they choose to hire you. So keep your answers varied to avoid sounding redundant, but be consistent in how you present yourself.
