What is your greatest strength?

The best answer to this question will directly align with the role. Think about the personality traits, duties, and culture of the company you are interviewing with. Choose an adjective that fits the majority of these. Then, provide a brief explanation. Give the interviewer examples of times you have displayed this strength in the past and when they can expect to see it in their workplace.

Although it is tempting to want to stun the interviewer with a unique answer, in this situation, it is better to stick with the classics! It is better to choose a safer answer that will fit the needs of the role and the expectations of the interviewer than to choose an answer you may have a hard time backing up with examples or aligning to the role responsibilities.

"My greatest strength is my perseverance. When I am not able to solve a problem quickly, I stay on it until I have not only found the solution but learned how to handle it better and more quickly."
