I feel distinguished mentally-challenged that I can't seem to formulate a response to this. Often the first thing to come up in an interview. What sounds good here? I probably need to come up with some spiel and just rehearse it.

And I accidentally checked the "I don't give a shit if people do [marijuana] on their own damn time" response. Problem is, now they ask me about this and I coulda came off as a secret crackhead or something. I don't even like getting drunk!

Tell them you're loyal, dependable, honest, and if you have a fault it's that you work too hard.

This would be a good time to subtly brag about your guitar playing, perhaps. Or your high IQ. Or your knowledge of film.

They're basically asking you to bullshit a few minutes of interview time (mostly involving stuff about your work history of course) so that they have something to remember who the fuck you are. Don't worry about accidentally answering something wrong on that quiz they give you, they most likely don't read it.

Who can't talk about themselves for 5 minutes? Fuck, don't you have a penis? Pretend like you are talking to a girl you are interested in without any sex talk. It's the same idea, you are presenting the idealized version of your existence.

Seriously this. If you've only ever had that restaurant job, just bullshit them and talk about stuff you have (or supposedly have) learned during that job.
