Ten things that can’t be asked during a job interview, and yet, I’d probably ask all ten of those things, I probably have, during a personal consultation, a reading.
For the record, the querent doesn’t have to answer, but geo-socio-psycho background material helps put answers and predictions in context.
Ok, Stupid:
Survey says, and these are highly scientific, so it must be right, that iPhone users have more sex than any other smart phone user.
Huh. Who knew.
Good Legalese:
Right here; although, I do prefer my own terms of service.

I was shopping for a phone yesterday (the truth, I swear) and I was looking longingly at an iPhone…there must be a subtext in there somewhere, but for the moment it escapes me. Bought an LG3 for Norm; still meditating on what kind of phone for me. Don’t really need a new one. Old one works fine. Just this lust for new tech….
The ten things you can’t be asked are too obvious for anyone to fall into the trap. However, employers have other sneaky tricks:
Such as–asking you for education years, years of employment/unemployment to date, and adding up the years as you enumerate them. I had it done to me–I saw him making a column of numbers on the note pad in front of him, and realized what he was doing. Too late. Because I look/act/work a lot younger than I am.
Also, another trick–the prospective employer saying a quasi-religious phrase which, in persons of similar faith or belief, will elicit a particular response. A similar ploy is to use a phrase in another frame of language…hey, bro, que pasa? is my favorite mashup of two of them.
Another time I was asked to reminisce about the “good old days” before television (another way of guessing age). Easy to play dumb for that one, but other interviewees said they got sucked into remembering The Lone Ranger on radio, small circular TV screens, etc. I told them I was too little at that time to remember any of that. My first memories were Howdy Doody (liar, liar, pants on fire).
I am sure there are other ways to seduce interviewees into revealing more than they need/want to.
