This is a common interview question and I have actualy used it in the past to interview someone. It tests there ability to think on their feet, their modesty (can be imprtent depending on work enviroment), and intelegence or wit (the better the answer you have the better you may be able to think in the work place). Good question. Some answers I might use (excuse the spelling):
-I can be to much of a perfectionist some times. I always want to do the very best job possible and sometimes it's difficult for me to let things be the way they are.
-I love to get involved with everything so sometimes I overestimate the amount of tasks I am able to take on. Although I always finish everything I begin, I usualy end up sacrificing too much of my personal time and well-being.
-I expect a lot of myself and therfore a lot of my coworkers. Sometimes when I am a in a leadership role, my high expectations get on people nerves though. (A small laugh would be appropriate here) I've been working on being resonable with those around me and makeing sure that my expectations are fare.
You can pick differnt answers acording to how you feel the interviewer would respond. For example, if it's a really casual interviwer and a casula job I wouldn't go with the perfectionist comment. Also you can change the wording to fit you and your interviwer better.

Different perceptions manifests into weaknesses. One person's weakness can be another person's strength. For example, a person is called emotionally weak while on the other hand, he, being an emotional person gets affection, friendship etc. from many.

My inability to delegate tasks, I always feel that I'm the only one that can get the job done right. Not sure if that can work as a strength though?
Take care.

My weakness is women. The only woman I know is my wife. When she comes close to me, my knees start knocking. I feel very weak.
