It's the rote, cliche questions that show an interviewer doesn't really know what he's talking about. Questions about personality and culture are very important, but if someone asked "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?", it would point toward their not being a skilled interviewer. It's better to phrase the same question in any other way that's not associated with corporate ineptitude, like "What are your long-term career goals?"
