How to Answer
Community Answers

Interviewers want to know that you are self-controlled and do not have a temper. Share with the interviewer that there are not many things that get you worked up. If you have been complimented for how patient you are, be sure to tell the interviewer that you have been complimented on your patience as well as who told you this. As a nice booster, mention that you intentionally look at your job as being a helper for others, and when your mentality is being a helper, you look at everything from a different perspective that keeps you calm.
