Seriously, that's true though. Weaknesses are meant to be acknowledged and embraced, since you really can't do much about them. Immediately, anyway.

- I often don't keep my cool when I should and am prone to flying off the handle in the most knee jerk possible manner, although I wouldn't go so far as to call myself impetuous
- I can be overconfident to the point of arrogance, although I fight against this tendency pretty hard, and generally correct myself pretty quickly, it still resurfaces from time to time. I often think too much of myself and overestimate the value of my own opinions
- I am both physically and psychologically prone to addiction
- I dwell on the past too much
- I am not thrifty enough sometimes, and am prone to splurge when I shouldn't
- I often miss the "big picture", focusing on the details of a subject too much

strengths:

- I am a generous person
- I have a gift for attention to detail (this can be weakness sometimes)
- I am always willing to lend a helping hand to those in distress
- I am extremely tenacious when I set my mind to something
- I am a good listener, despite my impatience
- I have a pretty good sense of humor I think, although I suppose that's not up to me to say
Those are the things I have in common with you. With the exception of a few things, we have almost the exact personality. lol

Yes, that's the idea. Unfortunately not many people seem to be interested in this sort of self appraisal. I understand peoples reticence to post such things in this forum however. On the other hand, you are anonymous.

Yea this popped up the day after an interview I had for a position I'm very interested in, basically my ideal career. While it didn't come up, I'm always prepared to talk weaknesses in these situations, and smart interviewing means you are willing to acknowledge something and provide a plan/evidence for how you are able to use it for your own advancement. Anyone can make themselves seem like the shit, but these days HR dept's are smarter than this. They can't afford to hire jackasses for a year to let them go.

strength -the ability to recover from procrastination at the last minute
weakness - procrastinating because I can afford to (see above)

For example, earlier this week I ended up staying at work until 3 a.m. because I had an application to turn in that was due by "close of business," which would of been 8-10 hours earlier for most people at work (including myself).

Nice contradiction. So there aren't any weaknesses, in your book?
