Interview Question: "What type of people do you find to be hardest to work with?"
I have also heard it phrased as: "What type of people do you enjoy working with the least?"
Should I say: "People who are not good with details."?
I would talk about culture, how it's harder to work with competent people who are unpleasant, communicate poorly than with incompetent, albeit pleasant people.
Communication is obviously important but the rest of this couldn't be any less true.
It's a good thing that you're not a trader.
Just be as blantaly racist as possible and see if the interviewer laughs it off.
He laughs? He admires your jokes and balls. You're a winner.
Doesn't laugh? Just leave.
"Poor people."
Unmotivated people.
This is a better answer than people not good with details, as some people who aren't good with details can still be good at their job.
Unmotivated people generally aren't good at doing their job and they suck the life out of teams. It's a sensible answer that also reflects well on you because it implies you are motivated.
Mimes.
Alternative answer: Deaf mutes

That is a terrible interview question. However, the answer they're probably looking for is that you don't have a problem working with any type of person. Just like you're supposed to use a "weakness" that is actually a strength for the "what is your biggest weakness?" question, you're supposed to enjoy working with even the most simple-minded, lazy plebian out there.
Yeah, there's this guy who's a paranoid schizophrenic and convicted felon and now just sits there eating paper clips and making chirping sounds. But I'm a team player...I'll cater to his strengths.
"Probably someone who wants to take it all on by themselves or is afraid to ask for help, we are a team blah blah blah"
How did I do? lol
LMAO
What if I said "narcissists" or "people who cheat" or "people who are dishonest".
You've just described integral character traits of many people in IBs.
The interviewers wold probably say thanks kids but the key traits of bankers are being dishonest, narcissistic cheaters. You need to tick at least two of those boxes.
