That’s your chance to let your personality shine. Try to choose something, which highlights what kind of person you are.

I would, of course, choose something which is acceptable in a work-place, but do not hold yourself back too much. 

By the end of the day, consultants are looking for the future colleagues with whom they will be locked up for lots of hours in a day, so letting your fun side out when this kind of question is asked, is not a bad idea.

Best,
Daniel

Hello!

On top of the insights already shared in the post, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34), adressing topics precisely as your question.

It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.

Furthermore, you can find 2 free cases in the PrepL case regarding FIT preparation:

T: We were traveling from the bus station to the hostel in a taxi 
A: As we stopped at a red light 2 motorbikes approached our taxi and stole our luggage form the boot
R: I impulsively jumped out of the car as soon as I realized to run after them. However, as soon as I realised how dangerous it could have been I hid behind the open door and avoided being attacked
