Who are you?

The Task

Answer the question: Who are you?

This is the most fundamental question for self-exploration. As with all questions regarding self-exploration, this question is more challenging and more valuable if you are honest with yourself.


Notes

Since this question is not very specific, you can find an answer in about a million different ways. Since we will try to add depth in the future, a simple one sentence answer will work here if that's all you want. I would recommend avoiding quick answers involving personal interests. What you like is not as valuable as why you like those things. I would also suggest coming up with an answer that you feel makes you unique. When in doubt, ask yourself, "Why?"  
 

Feel Free to Comment

Answers to the above question can be posted in the comments section. Although the question was posted to help you understand yourself, others can certainly benefit from your answers. They could discover personal characteristics that they might have previously overlooked. They could also discover new ideas regarding how and where to look to better themselves. Of course, I hope that fear of what others will think will not impair the process of answering the question. If you have to keep your answer to yourself, it won’t be held against you.
