Office Boy Question:

You need to acknowledge a weakness! The key is knowing your weakness and demonstrating how you are improving on it. For example, if you say I am a perfectionist and have difficulty delegating, you need to give an example of how you're working on the issue: I have been working on this issue and have begun to delegate to my staff as …. (e.g., leader of a club, editor of a paper), making sure they have clear directions from me. I've found that this approach provides the advantage of giving my staff more responsibility and freeing me up to work on other projects.
