How to Answer
Being a competitive person is an excellent thing if you are appropriately competitive in the workplace. Assure the interviewer that you have a tremendous competitive edge when necessary but are still able to balance that competition healthily.
1st Answer Example
"I think that on a scale of 1-10, I would rate myself as a 7 when it comes to being competitive. I love a great competition in the workplace when it comes to sales goals and breaking through last years' numbers. I am not competitive to the point that it would hurt my team or colleagues."
2nd Answer Example
"I am not overly competitive when it comes to my ego. My competitive nature kicks in when I have a deadline to meet or a client who wants to be impressed by my level of work and service."
