my biggest weakness is my inability to acknowledge how truly great I am. :-)

Although that's most likely true, unfortunately, based on my research, I haven't seen anywhere that says that is an acceptable answer. I know. Sad isn't it?

ha, ha, of course, since by making the claim that one is great means you don't really have a problem acknowledging that you're great.

Maybe the best answer is that one's greatest weakness is being OCD about fixing one's weaknesses :-)

And for a serious answer: I spend too much time worrying about weaknesses when I should be delegating affected tasks to others while I focus on tasks that play to my strengths.

Or: If I don't do something well, I delegate it to someone who can and get back to doing what I do best.
