During a job interview when they ask "What is one of your weaknesses?" What do you say???

When you get asked the question "What is one of your weaknesses?" during a job interview, what do you say?
The last time I was asked that question my response was "I'm not the most talkative person, I'm kind of quiet." I'm not sure if thats the best answer but that was the only thing I could think of at the time.
So what would be your answer to the question, "What is one of your weaknesses?"
I've got a job interview in 45 minutes and I'm trying to think of what I should say when that question pops up. If I can't think of anything else I'll probably just go with the quiet answer again.

If you have time to google it, there are some good answers to be found but 45 min isn't a lot of time. Good luck though.

TEll them you're a bit of a perfectionist, that iof its not perfect you cant be bothered, ala Spud in Trainspotting.
Honestly, depends on what the job is? Think in their shoes and what would you expect someone to say??

I think the best strategy for that question is to be honest & and relevent to the job, but REVERSE the weakness into some type of positive.

Yeah, that's what I found in a quick google search, turn the weakness into some type of positive.
So I think I'm going to answer the question something like this. "One of my weakness is that I'm kindof a quiet guy, I don't talk alot. But that can actually be good in some situations... I will be hard at work all day long rather than off socializing with my co-workers."

Personally, I'm a fan of "What is your weakness?"

For a technical position I always use this one:
"Sometimes I get caught up looking for the engineer fix instead of the technician fix. "
Then they'll ask "What do you mean by Technician vs. Engineer ?"
Then i can go on about how sometimes you just need to get things working on the spot without knowing the "why" (technician fix) and when you have some research time you can work on the engineer fix (understanding and fixing the root cause of the problem).
Dunno if it's relevant to your job though -
Works for me

most useless interview question ever.
i always go with the "i am a perfectionist" answer. but if i were to be honest it would be that i am not a morning person and will always be late (if we're talking about a 9-5er here).
i have to get a job soon.

tell them buttholes.
if youre gonna say the quiet thing tho dont take it as far as it makes you anti-social.
say something like youre normally quiet and would be focusing your attention on your work rather than being unproductive
