To best answer this question you need to understand why the interviewer is asking it. They are judging if someone has the ability to self evaluate, honestly be able to identify their own weaknesses and then take steps to correct them. This is a very valuable skill that is hard for employers to find.

Don't sugar coat or try to make a negative a positive "I'm to detailed oriented" they have heard that a million times and is meaningless to them.

Identify a weakness and then outline what proactive steps you have been taking to correct it.

When i was interviewing, the interviewer asked me what my advantages and weaknesses were. Frankly I didn't know how to answer these questions which was the frist time to ask druing my interview. I just said that I was shyness,reserved and nervous. Several words can not express my thinking. Finally I did not get an offer.

we should prepare for interviewing and the attitude is very important.

This question is rarely a trap if the candidate is wise, never specify a weakness related to the job or people, secondly, turn the answer around to come across confident and in full command, never fall apart or appear nervous when specifying a weakness,

Lastly the weakness question, rarely determines who get's the Job!, The eventual hire is mostly based on who demonstrates the strongest ability to get the Job done.

Answering the question, "What is your weakness?" is always a tricky and difficult question. We have to be careful when we answer this question. I like the tip that 'uttam_giet' have given that we can say our weakness is impatience and we get impatient when one of the team members doesn't perform.
