It is a word, however, your usage is incorrect.You need to use the word "personal" in this particular sentence.

Personable is a word. But how you used it in the sentence above is not the right usage. In that sentence, you would use "personal". Personable means having a pleasing personality. Example: John is very personable so that is why we invite him to all of our dinner parties.

Yes, see definition in link below.
But I think you didn't use it correctly in the sentence. Try:
1) I think people want to know more PERSONAL things about me
or
2) I think people want to know WHY I AM SO PERSONABLE.

It's a word but you're using it wrong. It means pleasing in personality or appearance. You're confusing the word with "personal", as in private information.

It's a word, but the word in your sentence should be "personal." Did you ever consider using a dictionary, either a paper one or your dictionary on-line?

Someone is "personable" if they have gregarious qualities. Look it up. Then you will be able to impress friends with TWO new words.
