That's a terrible question. You may as well just ask "Hey, can you please slip up and say something incredibly stupid and/or offensive, so that I can have an excuse to end this interview? It'd be great if you could just walk right into this trap that's not-so-cleverly-disguised as a question whose answer isn't even vaguely my business. Thanks!"
EDIT: Oh, and I skimmed further and found this gem:
> I never let people opt-out of the question
What a pile of arrogant crap. You're interviewing a candidate, NOT interrogating a prisoner. Get over yourself.
- Retra 11y agoIf they want to end the interview, it doesn't matter what question they ask, because they won't be listening to your answer anyway.
- jackmaney 11y agoExactly. One can opt out of literally any interview question by simply ending the interview.
- kpwagner 11y agoLOL. Yeah, that's like saying, 'hey, if you don't like the laws in this country, you can move out.' You sure can; you sure CAN. Disparity of "power". That's what interviews are all about. So you would pass up a great candidate because they disagreed with the relevancy of your line of questioning? It takes a lot more intelligence and self-confidence to consider a question and respectfully opt out of it than to blindly do your master's bidding and muddle through a through a question you don't even understand.
- jazzyk 11y agoI would not hire you because of your lack of social skills. Yes, the question is a bit silly, but as an adult you need to be able to deal with silly/annoying questions gracefully. Any polite, hopefully humorous answer would do here.
