What is your biggest weakness?

When you get information from the free internet you get what you pay for. Regardless of this warning...

I have a few websites which speak of the stress interview:

This last page states, "you should not give a directly answer to the questions at stress interview," and I agree.

This page then goes on to discuss the typical answer to the weakness question. I say that they break their own rule by directly answering the weakness question by giving a obviously rehearsed and information-less answer.

As the webpages say, the stress interview is to see how you handle stress. Thus, the weakness question finds out: Do you give useless and trite answers when under stress or do you know to keep your mouth shut?
