The interviewer is curious about how comfortably you'll react to this question. How you answer might also inform them of how self-aware you are, and how aligned your answer is with their impression of you so far in this interview. So, reflect on some of the positive things your fellow teammates and leaders have said about you. Spend time researching your professional past as well and revisit the comments provided in your performance reviews. That way, if they do speak with your references or previous employers, your answers will be consistent with the information they provide.

My coworkers have all told me I was someone who they can always count on, someone who works hard, and also someone who doesn't forget to have fun.
Marcie's Feedback
Nice! The interviewer will undoubtedly be happy to hear that you're reliable, a hard worker, and someone who likes to have fun. These are all great qualities to have. If there are any other qualities that you possess that are mentioned in the job ad, feel free to mention them as well. The more you can connect your own personality traits, skills, and experience to the job description, the better.
