You must answer both parts of this question! The interviewer wants to know that you are not only able to fully evaluate your capabilities but are also working to improve upon the area that needs it.

Avoid naming a weakness that would significantly impact your ability to perform the job duties! For example, an accountant may not want to highlight that they are bad at math!
Also, avoid only answering part of the question! To do so signifies that your weakness may be following directions.

"My greatest weakness is my public speaking ability. I get nervous in front of crowds and giving presentations. I know I will need to learn this skill to advance in my career, so I am currently working on giving toasts at dinners with friends and presentations to small groups of peers at work."
