Be candid with the interviewer. The interviewer truly wants to hear how you fit best with a team. Giving an honest answer will allow the interviewer to determine whether or not you'd fit well on their team. Being dishonest or trying to tell the interviewer what you think they want to hear could backfire on you if you are hired with the expectation that you will handle a role on a team that doesn't mesh with your personality. If you usually like to take the lead, speak up! If you usually like to generate new ideas and allow someone else to execute them, now is the time to share your creative side. If you usually like to carry out ideas as you are told, be sure to mention that you are the execution person. Whatever your strength is, now is the time to share it!
