Oh that’s a great way of turning the question to your side! I know my weaknesses and strengths, but the question sucks so much. I’m happy to tell you my weaknesses but I can fully understand the weight it holds.

Asking for opportunities is probably a better option. “What do you think you can do better?”.

Honestly, a lot of seemingly common interview questions are just really shitty.

Best to spin those somewhat positively. Telling a potential employer the things you're terrible at is just adding fodder to the list of reasons they shouldn't hire you.
