It tells us what people's strengths and weaknesses are with dealing with people. It wouldn't be ideal if everyone wasn't great at the same thing and a problem like that arose and now no one can really deal with it. It also gives us an understanding of what areas can be worked on, so I'd say it's pretty useful
it doesn't tell you that. doing a good job answering that question means you only get two positives.
my answer to my weakness: i tend to put a lot into my work and struggle with work life balance and will do someone else's job if they slack off.
i've just given you a second peice of positive information about myself using the weakness format. it's a lousy question. people hate answering it and it doesn't actually give you the information that you think you're asking for.
it isn't like that with everyone. i had answered with maybe 3 weaknesses i have, not one was positive. but it is something i will work on. dont try to put your experiences out as universal for everyone.
