If you were given a choice, which work related task would you leave for last? Why?
Often times we will leave the tasks that we don't like for last in an act of procrastination. Other times, we will mindfully leave a task for last because we feel that it makes the most sense. Help the interviewer to determine which personality type you are by answering this question clearly.
"If I were given a choice, I would leave my documentation tasks for last. I say this because I like to spend my time selling and hitting targets so anything to do with documentation during business hours - I feel takes away from my business development tasks. I do understand the importance of it, though."
"I tend to leave the hardest assignments for last. It is not because I dread them, but because I can make a lot more people happy by completing their small requests first and getting them back to work."

I tend to leave independent long-term assignments for last. It is not because I dread them, but because I can please many more people by completing their small requests first and getting them back to work. I believe responsiveness is very important no matter what the job may be.

Rather than focusing on being a people pleaser, which can sometimes have a negative connotation, consider adjusting your answer to say that you complete smaller tasks first that can help keep overall team momentum going before focusing on more involved individual projects because it helps both you and the team work more efficiently.
