What are the best answers to these hypothetical interview questions (10 Points)?

How you answer this question depends on what job you are going for. So you could say that your best characteristic was being inventive and creating new projects, but if you are a receptionist the employer might not want this because they want to pick someone who will be happy with their job and not be too keen to do their own projects or move on to something else. Hiring people is very expensive and disruptive to a firm, so recruiters look for someone who exactly fits the bill of the job.
