Can you add a profile section?

There's no place to describe one's self that I can find. Interests, hobbies, fave movies or books, or specialized skills. Portfolios are close, but it doesn't sound like the right place for this kind of stuff.

Chronicles, Introspections, Quests, and Portfolios

Thanks for the suggestion! We are consciously trying to avoid a profile section, but will revisit that decision if there is enough demand. The philosophy of this site is that everything meaningful about a person can be cast in the context of a meaningful question ("probe"). Probes may refer to the past (e.g. chronicle), present (e.g. introspection), future (e.g. quest), and timeless (e.g. portfolio). Interests, hobbies, and favorites are intended to be present probes, while skills are timeless. We have considered having default (or popular) probes. For instance, "What Are Your Interests?", "What Are Your Hobbies?", "What Are Your Favorite Books?", and "What Are Your Favorite Movies?" could be default probes. Instead, we use polls to determine which probes to display first. We love to hear feedback from a variety of users the effectiveness of this feature (coming soon).
