How do you cope with repetition?
This question aims to determine how sustainable of an employee you'd be in an environment such as theirs. They're interested if you thrive on solitary introverted work and less so on the more social aspect of the job, or if you prefer to work with more social interaction. This is an attempt to find out whether you'll burn out from the monotony of the job, or if you thrive in a regimented, rule-bound environment.
The essential goal is to communicate that you understand what they expect of you and validate that monotonous work is more arduous than it seems. Ask for further clarification of what the position entails, beyond what they advertise in the job description, regarding their routine. Further elaborate on how your experience correlates with the expectations of the job, drawing correlations between your work experience and the expectations of the position you're contending for.
"I get that a lot of people have trouble performing that kind of work without burning out on it. I'm indifferent to that part of the job. I take pride in my work, no matter what I'm doing, and have several systems and processes for every aspect of what I do. When you are good at what you do, you enjoy the work."
