Recently I encountered a difficulty in my university application. I were required to state my weakness in the application form. What do you think I should put? Lack of organisational skills, inability to express myself well in words...... all of these are on the negative side which I don't favour to include in my application.

What do you all think? Any weakness that is not good but not too bad either?

What I plan to do here is to state my weakness my and at the same time, I also include the ways to overcome my weakness. However, the application form is more like a fill-in-the-blank style, causes me unable to write too long, only a word or two, meaning I only can state my weakness without any reasoning.

Hope you guys help here. Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!! :D

Try and use words that suggest both good and bad. Such as:
My weakness is that I am demanding, objective, workaholic and aggresive planner.

May i know which university are you applying to? Perhaps you can state something that you've done to overcome your weakness(show the awareness of your weaknesses, and have to motivation to improve yourself) in your personal statement(if you're allowed to write one)
