Show the interviewer that you work well with most personalities even though you recognize there are some folks out there who are quite difficult to please.
Think about that one person at work who is seen as hard to please. Perhaps there is someone at work who tries to intimidate others. Talk to the interviewer about what made this person challenging and what their relationship was to you. Avoid speaking poorly of anyone and be sure to end your response on a positive note.

"I once worked at a locally owned shop where the owner was very demanding. When the owner would walk into the store, employees would announce over their headset system that the owner was in the building, so that everyone felt prepared for his entrance into their department. The owner had great intentions; however, his people skills were a little rough. I could see that he meant well, and I recognized that he wanted to do a lot of good things. When we interacted, I always took his feedback with the understanding that he didn't mean things as harshly as they came out."

While working at the medical clinic, I had a coworker who never finished her daily tasks, which would then affect the workload of the following morning shift. I would try to help her finish her tasks every day as I always think about others first.
But at a point, she just started doing fewer of her tasks knowing I would be helping her, so I asked the head physician to call a meeting where he reminded us of each of our roles and tasks. The issue got solved without creating conflict.
