Any and all information that relates to them is a part of who they are. Some information explains a lot more than other information. I think the most important is a person's goals, passions, and what they value highly. Experiences, things they enjoy, and their fears are also important.
So, when someone asks you who you are, it is best answered by telling them your goals, passions, and your values. And remember, its very literally a personal question. Its a question that unless you know everything there is to know about someone, is never answered fully.

I am that I am is the correct answer. I am the SELF pervading and transcending the cosmos. I am not the body, I am not the mind, nor intelligence. I am pure witness unaffected by the coming and going or suffering or enjoying. I am a screen on which the play of the world is projected. I am unaffected by the scenarios that fall upon me. I am absolutely unaffected like the space which is unconcerned with the bombs and jets. Nothing can cause any concern in me for I am all the totality.

Well I don't want to think of me as anything outside of me like my car or school or house. I like to think I have thoughts and a body, but my essence is something else like an experiencer. What makes me different or me is what I like. I have to include what I have to do in what I like because I might as well like it and that's all I see myself as being, an awareness that likes certain things or something in all things and have, in my mind at least, all the things I'm aware of. Kind of good since I don't have an ego to defend and can be open to seeing new ideas and not get stuck identifying too much with what I thought or what I see, but just experiencing what new I see. Something like that. Anything I identify with, I'm stuck with and every instance is new. I'd rather see it and me in a new light, growing. I like a new definition of me all the time. I kinda get bored with the old definition almost by the second.

If the name on your driver license and Social Security Card match, it helps. Afterward, any picture ID will usually get the job done.

I don't know if this helps in answering your question but I have always been motivated by this quote by Fritz Perls (Psychologist)
I do my thing, and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations.
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I,
And if by chance we find each other,
It's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.

the best answer will be "i am who" and the next question will be who is who? and the answer will be its me, the one who is answering your question.

we are creatures made to live not to exist. and our aim is to widen the difference between living and existing as much as we can.
