To gain insight into your personality, the interviewer wants to know your preferences. However, don't forget to reassure the interviewer that you treat all your clients with professionalism and consideration regardless of preference. You do your best to keep a positive attitude, and it is much more enjoyable to be around others who strive to do the same.

"I enjoy working with all of my clients, but if I had to describe my ideal client, it would be one that shows up to their appointment on time, tells me what issues they are having, and lets me get in and get to work. I also appreciate when clients tell me if they need me to go deeper or easier on them."
