I can genuinely see how this would slow you down and be a weakness. That said, much of the advice you see on how to answer this question warns against the "I'm a perfectionist," answers, which this seems dangerously close to. If I'm in the interviewers seat, I may be thinking okay, so you're detail oriented, nothing wrong with that, what's your real weakness? Oraybe it's a perfect answer...? I suppose it's all relative to who is on the receiving end.

Honest answer, how many times did you re-read your comment before posting it? :)

I definitely know what you are saying. I usually only follow my work closely when the project is much larger than something I'm used to on a daily basis. Outside of that though I usually manage my time pretty well.

I only read it over once or twice.
