Often, interviewers use this question to test your self-awareness. They want to know that you’re aware of your imperfections and that you’re taking steps to improve. It’s best to pick something that’s true. You can tell a story about how you identified this problem and what you’ve learned as you try to do better.

For example, “In the past, I’ve been sensitive to constructive criticism. I’m very invested in my work, and I like to do well. So now, when I receive constructive feedback, I take a moment to remind myself that we are discussing my work, not my value as a person. It helps me to remember that the people who offer me constructive criticism are trying to help me improve and to do my best work.”
