This question reveals that this job will require quick thinking and quick responses. It is important to note that all interview questions require you to "think on your feet," as you are never sure what the interviewer will ask next.

Be sure to answer this question honestly in terms of both your general performance AND your performance during the interview so far! If you say you are always able to think and react quickly but have been unable to respond to questions immediately, it will appear as though you are unable to accurately represent yourself.

Avoid the urge to say what you believe the interviewer wants to hear. Some questions have right answers, and the interviewer may hope to hear a strong affirmative, but it is more important to show that you're able to analyze your behavior and provide true responses!

"Usually, I can think well on my feet! I pride myself on being able to work well under pressure. I will admit that my nerves are getting the best of me today and slowing me down a bit. I've been excited to discuss this job with your team!"
