Your interviewers pose this question for two reasons. First, they want some insight into your personality to understand how you will fit in with the culture, faculty, and other fellows in their Critical Care fellowship program. They also want to hear how you view yourself. Notice they do not ask how others would describe you but how YOU would describe yourself.

"If I could describe my personality in three words, I would say that I am compassionate, fluid, and detailed. My personality is well suited for the critical care environment because my patients' well-being is always at the top of my mind, and I focus on my next move at all times. My compassionate approach to any situation will shine during my training with your program. I consider myself fluid because I am a 'go with the flow' type of person that is never rigid in my ways. This flexibility is vital in a Critical care setting and will allow me to thrive."

Since you only have three words, make sure the words that you use will make a lasting impact on your interviewers. Some possible answers include adaptable, brave, compassionate, respectful, helpful, positive, thoughtful, and versatile. As you prepare for a question like this, avoid giving the same answer other candidates give. Explain your reasons for choosing these words to describe yourself.
