Be HONEST and explain your weakness in a positive context. I will give you one example so you can better understand the answer I wrote you:  "My weakness are poor people, that's why I'm involved in many humanitarian projects".

Convey a positive trait as it seems like a weakness in an impressive way. Ex:I find it difficult to concentrate in a work while the previous is being incomplete.

Be honest and choose a real weakness. Provide an example of how you've worked to improve upon your weakness or learn a new skill to combat the issue. Demonstrate self-awareness and an ability to look to others to provide you with the resources necessary for growth. Don't be arrogant and don't underestimate yourself.
