Best/Worst
So, I've been thinking about what my response would be to everyone's favorite 2-part interview question: describe your best and worst qualities.
The best thing that ever happened to me was the moment I realized I didn't know everything, but that I had the skills to figure out how to find out what I needed to know, when I needed to know it. For a former insufferable little know it all (who would've put Hermione Granger to shame), this was a tremendous breakthrough -- and relief!
Unfortunately, I have a rather closer relationship with the voice of doubt than I would like. I typically look at things from all angles, and often, at least one of those angles involves a decent amount of pessimism. (I'm getting better at stamping out the old VoD, though. When I sense its presence, I just start humming "Freebird" and it retreats into the ether.)
How would you answer this question?

I have the amazing ability to be self conscious while being arrogant.
