I suppose I tend to think of the purpose of these things as being entertainment rather than revelation. So I would answer with whatever was bubbling around the top of my mind at that time, in the hope that people would find it interesting, rather than worrying that it wasn't a true representation of my inner psyche.
I would probably also invent spurious jobs etc to make up the numbers, and invite people to guess which ones weren't true.
But on the deeper point, I think that the ability to have a favourite anything must be genetically / memetically determined, in that people seem to divide so clearly into those who do and those who don't1.
1 That's my favourite psychosocial theory. Or... is it?2 2 No.3 3 (Because I am of the latter type.)
