My greatest weakness is that I tend to be quiet and introverted. I've stated as much in various job interviews, and I've had success so far. I think the key is answering quickly and succinctly. I usually state that being an introvert is my weakness, but that I have certain strengths that make up for this (independent thinking, I'm a great listener, I always keep my nose clean in the office, etc). I also point to group work on my resume and my references as proof that I can work in groups and develop relationships effectively. I just don't like to do it as much as some people.
