I agree, horrible cliche to ask. And when asked a cliche, my first instinct is to be obstinate. Your answer of I work too hard comes to mind. I’m of the opinion is that if they ask such a stupid question, it is a red flag not to work there.
That said, my company has decided that all of us (30,000 employees) should take the Gallup strengths finder. Some phony baloney test like Myers-Briggs. I don’t put much stock into them. But my bottom 5 (of 34), my weaknesses, are context (I don’t dwell in the past), woo (I don’t care if people like me), harmony (I don’t need consensus), activator (I’m not inpatient) and individualization (team-building crap).
I can take any of those 5 and spin it to a positive. That is why I don’t take these things seriously.
