"I love all living things, great and small. I don't claim to be an animal lover, which is often code for being a misanthrope. I'm happy being alone with my pooch or working as part of a team. I'd say I'm a dog person, a cat person, and a people person."

Many may volunteer an unfiltered answer without understanding the nuance behind this question, claiming to prefer the company of animals over people any day, and even label themselves a misanthrope (a person who dislikes people). This question is asked to determine how well you'll present to their customers and whether you are an introvert who prefers solitary distraction-free tasks or an extrovert who enjoys interacting with the public in a customer centric environment. The ideal tone to strike is that of balancing yourself between both spheres.
