I've asked something like this while giving an interview before: "What's your greatest weakness? And don't do the thing where you turn it around to a strength."

That just really seemed to confuse people. They weren't very good candidates though.



Interesting strategy... It's something like asking "What's the number one reason I shouldn't hire you?"

I can't see a benefit to asking it, as it would only favor dishonest applicants while irritating others, but it would be interesting to hear the answers.
