To all you who use "I'm a perfectionist..." and think this is the perfect answer, this is what you sound like:
If I were interviewing someone, I'd call people on that BS answer. A better candidate will have actually thought of their weaknesses, and then come up with a concrete plan to improve on those areas of their lives. The best person is constantly working on self-improvement, and this can only happen when one recognizes their weaknesses.
If you say a weakness that is actually a strength (like striving for perfectionism) what you're really saying is, "I'm not confident enough to assess myself and be honest about myself." A smart manager would see right through this. Luckily, there aren't too many smart managers.
