Originally answered: What's the best way to answer the question “what makes you unique?” without sounding egotistical. (In an interview)
Well how about I answer that question and you tell me if I sound egotistical:
What makes me unique:
I think differently than most people I know; I apply logic, reason and emotional aspects in equal proportion, to the solution of problems.
I have an unusual amount of intuition when it comes to people, I am able to figure out motivations and intentions with a high rate of accuracy. Even with people whom I've had very little interaction with.
I don't fit stereotypes very well. I'm often the odd one out in a group.
I surprise people often with my reactions and perspectives.
I have a high EQ, which I feel is incredibly useful, particularly in my fields of management and life coaching, so I make a point of flexing and improving these skills.
I love to read and have the ability to absorb and apply abstract principles; and transfer these points of learning to other fields and applications, which I'm told is a relatively rare ability.
I love being different and surprising and not fitting stereotypes. I'm rather pleased to be me. I have great self-esteem and good confidence which makes me willing to seek out and accept challenges which I may not appear to be able to deliver on initially.
I'm not afraid of failure. In fact, I think it is an essential part of the experimental learning process that gets you to success.
This is why I'm unique.
Do I sound arrogant? Or just self-aware?
I don't believe interviewers are testing to see if you're arrogant enough to "toot your own horn". If I asked that question in an interview I really would want to know how you are unique as an individual. A sarcastic or amusing answer just tells me that you aren't very self-aware. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it just makes you harder to read and harder to manage as an employee.
The more self-aware a person is, the easier it is for me to say "let's look at the events, can you see where things went wrong? If you could, how would you change things? What would you do differently?" and have a person self-correct, without having to lead them step-by-step through their behaviour/words and the ensuing results.
You can work on self-awareness, and doing so would considerably improve your EQ scores and make you a more "attractive" candidate in interviews too.
