I recently meet someone and was going to ask them to describe themselves in a paragraph. I realized I wasn’t able to do it myself. I also wasn’t sure how they would react. I thought I would ask here first and see how you folks react.

I’ll define paragraph as three to four sentences.

It sounds like an interview question and not really an icebreaker, imo

Hmmm, fair… it could come across as such. Hence not actually asking it. Your comment would make me lean toward not asking at all.

Appreciate the perspective.
