I had an in-person interview this week with a few "personality questions" that I thought were odd but still gave an answer for, but for this one I had to say "I can't think of anything I'm willing to share" and I feel like it hurt my chances. I asked for clarification on whether he meant personally or professionally and he said either is fine.
Is there something obvious that they're trying to ask with this that I missed? Is this a normal question and I should prepare a proper answer for the future?
