I have an interview tomorrow at college. What should I answer for question "What are your bad qualities'?

• I have this interview tommorow in collge that I'm applying to. And I was preparing to this interview by answering different types of questions. But I'm kinda stuck with "What are you bad qualities?" Can somebody please give me an example of answer for that. Thanks :)

• Answer:

  This is a wonderful question for a college interview. Only YOU know what your true bad qualities are, if you have any? You want the interviewer to know that you can identify your short comings. So it is important to find something about yourself that may be considered a bad quality, if not by yourself then others. But I would suggest to identify small quirks NOT major crises. You don't want to appear as unable to manage situations. Some negative qualities may be: "I set my car "trip set" button to measure the miles between destinations and it drives my friends crazy". (reason for this quirk would be to establish that you always plan ahead, that you measure your goals for the most expedient way to accomplish them) then add that you feel that while some may see this as a bad quality I see it as being time efficient. "I think I may ask too many questions, I have been told since childhood that I just talk too much." (reason for this is to establish that you are inquisitive) "I know I am the loudest person in the room." (reason for this may be to denote I AM important) But basically look for small negatives that can been seen as strengths. Always be positive, but not arrogant. good luck tomorow........ Anna M.
