What do you dislike about being an Engineer?
When answering this question, stay positive and tell the interviewer how you have worked around the elements of engineering that you dislike. Choose something that is unlikely to affect your performance in the position for which you are applying. The example answer is for a sales engineering position.
"As crazy as it sounds, I've never been that excited about complicated math problems. However, I find I do well with getting to know people and their needs and figuring how to meet them. For that reason, I've decided to go into sales engineering as opposed to design engineering, because I know I will enjoy my job."

I dislike it when I believe to have come up with a brilliant solution to a problem only to discover that it has already been invented.

This is a good start. You've kept your response light and more positive than negative. If asked this question, it's important to keep your response positive and explain to the interviewer how you have adapted to work around the aspects of engineering that you don't enjoy. It's also important to choose something that isn't likely to significantly impact your performance in the role you're applying to.
