The interviewer wants to hear that you are humble and are not afraid to admit a weakness. It is understandable to have something that makes you uncomfortable, and the interviewer wants to see if you are willing to step outside of your comfort zone and tackle your fear head-on. Describe something that makes you uncomfortable, and then turn it into a positive experience and explain how you are able to turn an uncomfortable situation into one where you are comfortable.

"What makes me uncomfortable is if I am given a task or assignment that I am not familiar with or have not been trained on. I like feeling confident in my work and abilities, and when given an unknown task, it makes me uncomfortable. However, I have excellent research skills and can find the answer I need on the internet. If I am given an unfamiliar assignment, I get my answers on the internet and teach myself how to do what was given to me to complete."
