well since you ask, i’m going to go in a direction a bit different from yours. very simply,
honesty is the best policy. — Geo. Washington and many others. honesty also implies directness, clarity and conciseness.
so, if i were in the interview or the interviewer, the correct answer for me is either the whole, relevant truth, or that’s private info and i won’t disclose that. i would never lie or attempt to confuse someone.
don’t go into long winded, pseudo rhetorical, manipulating answers.
to paraphrase our Lord, let your answers be yes, yes or no, no.
Sage advice.
