Personality and character are two very different things. The interviewer is looking for more information on your traits vs. your integrity. Your example could include buzzwords such as extroverted, energetic, and confident. Be sure your answer is accurate, as the interviewer will contact your former supervisor for a reference.

"My former supervisor would describe my personality as positive. I come into every shift with a positive attitude and a smile on my face. I like to look for the good in people and not dwell on the bad things we see. I believe that, if asked, my colleagues would say the same about me."

Review the job description before your interview to see the keywords Sutter Health used to describe their ideal candidate. Then, use one of those keywords in your response. For example, if the job description says they are looking for an energetic, compassionate, and empathetic healthcare professional, you would choose one of those keywords that best describes your personality.

"I believe my former manager would describe my personality as energetic. He always calls me the Energizer bunny and says my energetic nature is infectious."
