This question aims to reveal whether you are more of an introvert who prefers more analytical solitary work, or if you are more of an extrovert who prefers more interpersonal interactions. Put self-evaluative thought into your answer, rather than trying to hurry through it. Both answer choices bring value for the hiring company. There is no wrong or right answer. Don't choose one or the other unless that is truly the case, which it rare in most cases. Ideally, you want to convey that you are adaptable, regardless of being an introvert versus an extrovert.

"I am more of an analyst type and do prefer to be in the background, making the numbers happen. With that said; I am still a people person and would always put my best face forward in any customer facing situation."

Kevin Downey

"I am definitely more of a face to face communicator. I love being in the buzz of it all and I thrive in customer facing situations. I am also able to work in the background, when needed."
