Possible answers are Yes or No. If you use Yes, do not use contracted forms. If you use No,contracted form are possible.

This form is commonly used (mostly informal). It is because there is no contracted form for am +not (amn't). Grammatically correct would be: am I not. This is only used in formal situations.
