Remember that while describing yourself in an interview keep the answer always in a relation to the job. Though the employer is asking personal questions, they are still all related to "what can you bring to the company?" So, try to include adjectives like reliable, loyal, etc. In your answer and make sure that you back these words with realistic examples.
