This might be a worse version of the "greatest weaknesses" question. It sounds like it could get closer to protected status that you consciously don't go anywhere near in an interview context.
Also, some of my favorite and most capable colleagues might answer honestly, about some random quirk, and not only is it problematic to have asked, but -- if that quirk got transmitted through some corporate telephone game, like an interviewer wrote down the answer -- someone elsewhere in the org will probably get a garbled impression (from "drinks too much coffee" or whatever), and then maybe bureaucracy breaks down during the offer process for the person you most should've hired, and they get alienated and go somewhere else.
