My biggest weakness is that I have no respect for authority. I work hard when I want to please someone, but the threat of punishment is the best way to get even worse work out of me.
This means that many of my employers and teachers really adored me, and went out of their way to help me. When I was writing my honor's thesis in college, a postdoc invited me to her apartment to stay overnight and help me finish it in time. I got glowing recs for grad school, etc.
It also means that there are some people who for whatever reason pissed me off, and now I make their lives a living hell. There's nothing more satisfying then having someone pull out all their stops to try and get to you, and having them fail miserably.

Yeah. If I got this question I would lie.
