I just want a thorough answer, one that gives the sorter insight into the way the character's mind works, to make the sorting more accurate, and to promote character development. I feel it would be inappropiate to put a minimum on those types of questions. However, sorters are able to prod for more, if we-- they-- feel it's not enough information.

I stated it in the exceptions-- the under-Hogwarts age characters don't have to answer the MC questions nor open-ended questions until the summer IC before they start Hogwarts, at the latest. They only need two paragraphs for history, and one for personality. :)
