General

"I would say that I work well in either, though I enjoy working more as part of a team. However, I am able to find satisfaction in my work when working alone as well, and am able to remain productive and distraction free when doing so. But I hold true that I will perform well where ever I am needed."

Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

This question aims to reveal how team oriented you are. Regardless of whether you are more of an introvert or an extravert, you'll want to focus on your support of the team's effort, and strike more of an ambiverted to an extroverted tone. But your ultimate aim should be to exert your success as equating to the success of the team.
