God no?!
I got fired from a Financial Assistant job for being honest.
Perhaps I should of mentioned integrity?
The only thing I would be an asset to is an organisation that encourages you to think, not do without thinking. More fool me. I'd be still working now if that was the case. Meh life's like that.
Massive risk to any financial organisation. Finance is a mirky business at the best of times. Overall organisation: kinda depends if it isn't trying too hard and quantity matters over quality and quantity therefore?
It is a question where there is no wrong answer, as the OP shows it's more important how you answer the question than what it is. These are interview questions I like as they tend to analyse creativity if of course you are not prepared for them.
Like
"What would you do if two customers were asking for help and the phone rang?"
No wrong answer here, except maybe gun down the two customers and then pick up the phone and loudly proclaim "I am dead inside!"
Careful about being too honest at interview though, or in some cases after.
Good bit of advice if someone asks you an unexpected question. Ask if they mean in the work environment or generally. Give yourself thinking time. And don't panic!
