The interviewer is trying to get a feel for your personality and how you interact with others. You may be self guided in your work, or perhaps you thrive in a collaborative team environment. Either way, be transparent with the interviewer about your preferences. How you answer this question will also clue them into how well you would function in their work environment, and will assist them in placing you where you would be best suited. Most people fall somewhere in the middle between these two extremes. The most important thing is to exude a sense of self-awareness. Be honest and confident. If you are one, the other, or both, offer storytelling examples where you've used this to your advantage and shined.
