Instructional design requires both creative and analytical skills, but the interviewer doesn't necessarily require you to have an equal balance of both. When crafting your answer, be honest about your strengths and weaknesses in each area. Further, you will also want to mention what you are doing to continually improve your instructional design skillset.

"I would consider myself more as a creative person, in general. As a child, I was always drawn to the arts, whether drawing, painting, or theater. As I grew older, I began to adapt these skills with available technology, and that's how I ended up as a Fine Arts student majoring in Graphic Design with a minor in Animation. However, I also have a great appreciation for data. I always collaborate with our business analytics team to establish baselines for training metrics and evaluate training results. One way that I ensure I develop courses objectively is by consulting with my peers. I'm not the savviest with numbers, but I think that as long as I know how to create measurable objectives for training, I can thrive in this role. I hope that your company is open to me learning new analytical skills as needed."
