In other words, we have found that "How are you?" is

換句話說，我們發現，"你好嗎？"。

used as a greeting like "Hi / Hello."

用作 "嗨/你好 "這樣的問候語。

Apart from that, there were three people who responded "I'm good."

除此之外，還有三個人回答 "我很好"。

and one person each for "Excellent." "Super." "Alright." "Fine."

和 "優秀 "各一人。"超級。""好的""好"

I only asked 12 Americans who live in L.A. in this video,

therefore I can't state anything conclusive here,

but one thing we can say is, the question "How are you?" is

used as "Hello"

People who responded to the question "How are you?" in all kinds of ways

such as "I'm good." "I'm super." "Excellent." "I'm doing alright." "I'm fine."

如 "我很好""我是超級的。""優秀""我很好""我很好" "I'm fine."

so there is no one right respond to the question.

所以沒有一個正確的答案。

The safest way to respond to the quesion would be "I'm good."

最安全的回答方式是 "我很好"。

but it also depends on your preference,

但也要看你的喜好。

so pick one that you feel most comfortable saying.

don't use "And you?" but use someting like "How are you?" or "How about you?"

不要用 "你呢？"而是用 "你好嗎？"或 "你呢？"

They sound more natural.
