How competitive are you?
Being a competitive person is a great thing if you are appropriately competitive in the workplace. Assure the interviewer that you have a great competitive edge when necessary but are still able to balance that competition in a healthy way.
"I think that on a scale of 1-10, I would rate myself as a 7 when it comes to being competitive. I love a great competition in the workplace when it comes to sales goals and breaking through last years' numbers. I am not competitive to the point that it would hurt my team or colleagues."
"I am competitive when it matters. I enjoy a good, healthy competition, in the form of sales contests or incentives. With that said, I don't identify as an overly competitive person who always needs to win. I enjoy watching others win, just as often."
