the person said.."i'd rather not go into that..(nicely)..."or would you just change the subject?

I'd just change the subject since the person asked me to and was polite about it.

I'd change the subject. Unless I didn't like them and I really wanted to know.

I would change the subject, because I would not want the person to feel uncomfortable.

change the subject because that person is obviously not comfortable talking to you about that subject

I think it would be almost like a reflex to ask something along the lines of "Did you have a bad experience with that?" but personally, I would try not to mention it again, at least in that conversation.
Maybe bring it up another time, much later down the road with much sincerity...

I would just respect that and move on to the next subject.

Generally yes, but I'm also curious, so it's quite possible a "why?" would pop out before I could stop myself.... No I wouldn't keep pushing, that'd be really rude, but I might just try to ask once... especially if I were really caught off-guard, if it were a known sensitive topic I wouldn't, then it would be expected.
