I used to go the "strength-as-a-weakness fake-out" route but in the last interview I did, I candidly described some areas I thought I could improve in and how I planned to do so. Who knows what the interviewer was looking for but I got the gig... I have been asked this question many times in interviews.

For example: Your answer might mean you cannot tolerate amateurish arrogance.. Or you are just a prick. (i think it's the former, though) My point is these kind of questions are some kind of bait that will reveal something, and the interviewer is bound to see it (well, smart interviewers). actually, from what I see, some characteristics can be revealed just by asking ‘inane’ questions.

It's about how insightful you are, and how confident you are, and as someone else said, how mature you are. I usually don't ask this question when I interview, but given this blog maybe I should start.
