You will be asked this question so the interviewer can gain insight into your personality and interests outside of work. They want to see that you have ways to decompress from the pressures of the job and have fun on your days off. Describe three or four activities or hobbies that you enjoy doing in your free time.

You want to avoid naming any activities or hobbies that the interviewer might deem inappropriate or unprofessional. You will represent their company, and they do not want you participating in anything that could tarnish their image. For example, you might enjoy growing medicinal marijuana and making tinctures for an ill family member. Still, if you were to get in trouble for that, it could become public and harm the company's reputation (even if it is legal in your area).
