<p>I was asked this question at my Dartmouth interview... I immediately joked "short" (this actually has always seemed to define me, though... when I think of 6th grade, I think of every single girl begging to give me a piggyback ride... haha) because I would have felt lame immediately saying "intelligent" or something like that...
Then, I said "creative" and "adventuresome" (or "courageous" maybe?).</p>
