In asking this question, your interviewer is politely letting you know that their OR is full of bold personalities and this is to be expected among a passionate group of nurses and surgeons. They ask this question in hopes for you to give your honest thoughts on your personality, while also having you talk about how it works well with every differing personality style you will meet on the team you are interviewing to join. As you discuss your personality style, make sure to highlight how it has helped you nurture and develop great working relationships in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

"If I'm fortunate enough to join this amazing team as a perioperative nurse, your team will quickly find that I'm assertive, able to speak my mind, and confident in my work to be able to work effectively with even the most demanding surgeons. I'm also very willing to take direction and make the work atmosphere as fun and engaging as possible. My current colleagues, as you'll find in my reference letters, always appreciate my open mind and my ability to get along with any person, in any situation."
