Im confused by the choices for visibility on a persons profile. I want some fields to ask for information that only the Admins will see. That is, other users looking at the profile would only see the "public" fields. So I selected a field to be "Hidden profile field, only accessible by administrators, modules and themes." and oddly enough, the users only see the category, they don't see the profile question at all!

This just doesnt make any sense to me. We should be able to ask for certain information that only the admin will see, that wont show up on the persons public profile...but the user has got to see the question to answer it huh? How is this done?

If I'm right you'd have to create this type of field for what you want:

- Private field, content only available to privileged users.

While the hidden profile field, only accessible by administrators, modules and themes. is for things that really only admins should see about the user, not even the users themselves.

But will the user during registration be able to enter info in the fields that have the following applied?

"Hidden profile field, only accessible by administrators, modules and themes."

In the other case: "Private field, content only available to privileged users.": who are privileged users and where can the access be set?
