How many necktie knots do you know how to tie? 2. Four-in-hand and Windsor.
Which one do you tie most often? Four-in-hand. Since I finally learned to tie it so it actually looks good, I almost always use it (except with longer ties).
Can you tie a bow-tie and do you ever wear one other than with a tux? No and no.
What is your favorite necktie that you never wear? I only wear them for work, so I have few of them and wear them all.
I can tie a windsor, half-windsor and four in hand. I prefer the windsor because I think it looks the best.
I don’t like bowties. At all. I can’t tie a bowtie and don’t want to learn.
I have a Tabasco[sup]TM[/sup] tie that has alligators carrying bottles of Tabasco sause in their mouths. I love the tie but rarely wear it in business situations because I’m told it can look intimidating. Personally I think it’s a really cool tie.
One of my favorite ties that I do wear at least once a week has manatees on it. Everybody really likes that tie.
Some would say 85 knots.
I only know the 4-in-hand, own two ties (with access to the bf’s 25-times that), and have never been able to tie a bowtie. The one time I needed to know in my life, the internet failed me, and I wasn’t able to get it tied from the instructions I found. (No one in my family besides me can tie a tie, and I learned that from the internet too.) I guess my favorite tie is the red one with the contrasting texture bias stripes? It’s either that or the saxophone tie, and I haven’t seen it in years.
Any of the knots Brooks Brothers provides instructions for:

No
I generally wear the ties I like and don’t wear the ties I don’t like. I generally wear diagonal striped ties from Brooks Brothers, Charles Thywitt, Thomas Pink or where ever.
