It SOUNDS general but it's not. They aren't looking for a list of every skill you've ever developed. What they are asking is what skills apply to the job you are trying to get? For example, if you are applying for a secretarial job they don't care if you have carpentry skills. They'll want to know how fast you can type and how organized you are. Most interview questions have underlying meanings. They are trying to figure out if you are the best person for the job. ~ T

Answer

They are looking for specific answers to skills that you have learned or are good at. Also, if you have any personality skills, this would be helpful.

Answer

Highlight any parts of the job or job description that sound like you but add positive comments to each description.

TELL the interviewer how closely you match the job description ("I'm an excellent writer." or "My great personality and helpfulness are perfect for customer service." or "I know many of the required software programs and I'm also a quick learner!" )

Are they looking for someone who has a lot of computer skills? Do you have these skills? Then go on and on about them! :o)

Your quality and skills are about your values and what RELEVANT experience you are bringing to the interview. For example, if you were interviewing for a receptionist job and your previous job was in engineering, you would not sit and talk about engineering.

Personal qualities and skills are explained in an article that I will attach to this answer.

Such questions are fairly typical of those you will be presented with when applying for a job

As with most things, it is all about preparation. If you fail to prepare then be prepared to fail. There are many 'standard' questions. There are no standard answers as most are asking about you personally. Because of that no one but yourself can answer many of the questions you will be asked. Think about such questions in advance and have your answers ready. There are many sources of the type of questions you may be presented with. The internet and your local library being the main ones. Be positive; do not repeat what you have read in books or on the Internet. By all means read sample answers but do not repeat them verbatim. The person interviewing you will have read all those answers too.

There is more to having a successful job interview than just answering the questions asked. Many would say much more. First impressions count for far more than many realise.

Dress for the part. Be punctual and polite. Listen to what is being said. Answer only the question asked. (Don't ramble)
