The psychology behind the question is the interviewer probing into your personality. This question is a very open-ended question and needs careful handling.

It offers an opportunity to capture the interviewer’s attention with a clear, quick and focused response.

A  great answer would highlight elements of your hobbies, your qualification, and your interests.
