Should you include your unusual experiences on your profile (CV & Linkedin)?

Previously, I conducted an interview with Varsity on "University Dropouts: Lost the way or Found the way?" to share my views on the Impact of Withdrawal from University on Job Hunting (Link in comment session).
 
This actually reminds me of another Qs that students usually have on CV writing: should we include the unusual experiences (like dropping out from Uni) on the CV & Linkedin profiles? To answer this Qs, you hv to first ask yourself whether you want to discuss these unusual experiences with the interviewers during an interview. 

"CV-based Qs" are called CV-based Qs because the interviewers will actually dig into your past exp to test your ability & personality. By deciding what to include on your CV, you can subtly influence the direction of an interview. Of course, you should never write invaild/fake exp. But equally important, you shouldn't write exp that aren't relevant to your job hunting either.

Want me to share more practical CV writing skills? Give me a thumb up.
