Hi, this was a trick question. You have been asked by this question to describe your aims/goals and your career objectives so that they can judge your personality and professionalism. Therefore, if you are asked the same in the future, you need to answer by describing who you are presently and what you aspire to become in the future. Start with your career goals.

If they asked you "who are you," you could have asked them "well, what do you want me to be" or "what do you expect from me?" As simple as that... These are questions on which they would judge your personality, communication, ability, and sometimes stress. It can be anything; I mean it depends on the interviewer. He may take it as he needs.

The question was nothing but an alternative of "tell me something about yourself." But for "who are you," you have to talk about something that defines your personality diplomatically, and the answer can be untrue as well :). For such questions, the answer should not be very lengthy but a short and precise answer is appreciated.

Great question! If the sense of a question is not understood, instead of keeping mum in surprise, the situation has to be cleverly warded off to twist the question into an answer shape. You would need to reply humorously in the same fashion the question was asked, like:
"I am not you, but I surely would like to become like you."

It's more or less the same as "Tell me something about yourself," but it needs a more specific answer. You have to start with the stream of profession that you are currently holding, such as "I am an HR professional." Further, it should continue with the base and facts that build up the foundation for the post you have applied for.

Nobody knows you better than yourself, so when you are asked such a question, you are expected to share every possible thing about yourself. However, this is not as easy as it seems because the interviewer is actually trying to gather insight into your weaknesses and strengths. Therefore, you should be careful and diplomatic while answering this type of question.
I hope you understand the importance of handling such inquiries tactfully.

Hi, this is a tricky question rather than confusing; however, it is not as tight and tough to answer. There are more than one angle to answer this. You could try this.
Professionally - you could detail your education and experience
Personally - you could detail your personal background
Spiritually - you could briefly state your spiritual point of view or reply that spiritually, there is a lot more time to find who you are, and at this stage, you want to focus on your professional career.
Before answering, it would be fine to know from the interviewer on which aspect they want to know about you and answer accordingly. Handle with care as this sometimes appears as over smartness...! All the Best!

If the person interviewing you suddenly asks "Who Are U?", it seems like they may have just had a momentary lapse and forgotten who you are. If possible, you can politely remind them about the interview. If not, it could signal that the interview is over, and you can gracefully conclude the interaction by excusing yourself.
