This question says a lot about the interviewer too. To me, the interviewer who asks the biggest weakness question is either clueless or a dick. Nice HR ladies who have this question on their checklist for "leadership assessment" are an exception - the checklist is sacred to them. You are saying that you ask this question to gauge the attitude, creativity and interest. Yet, you ask the most uninteresting and unimaginative question to assess creativity and interest. What does it say about you?
