Ensure to review the job posting before the interview to familiarize yourself with the work involved. At the time of the interview, you should know whether this position entails mostly independent or collaborative work. As such, should the position entails mostly collaborative work, you should answer this question by emphasizing your love of such work and that you enjoy brainstorming ideas with fellow team members.
Should you not answer adequately as per the duties involved, you may be automatically disqualified - for instance, if you answer you prefer independent work and dislike collaborative work when applying for a position that mostly entails collaborative related duties. Not only will this show you are unsuitable for this position as you did not do your due diligence beforehand (as you did not read the job posting before applying for the position nor before the interview), but the interviewer may also believe you are simply looking for any job without being serious about working for this school particularly.
