How would your references describe you?
The interviewer wants to hear that your references will positively describe you. Think about the constructive things your references have said about you. Be complimentary of yourself; now is not the time to be humble.
If you have past performance reviews or letters of recommendation from your references, review them before your interview. You will be better prepared to answer the question if what they wrote is fresh in your mind.
"I have an excellent list of references who will say that I am a hard worker who always brings a positive attitude to the workplace. I learn new concepts quickly and seek out opportunities to help others. I have three copies of performance reviews and letters of recommendation for your file if you would like me to send them after the interview."
"My references describe me as a team player, a leader, and someone who loves learning new things."
