I'm going to start by saying I expect the answer to be no, but I thought I'd ask anyway, mostly because I think it would be funny to do.
If I have a character cast Planar Inquiry, can I summon one of my other characters to answer a question if said character is an Aasimar, or Tiefling, or any other kind of Outsider that is technically a valid "target" for the spell. The only effect I see this having on the spell is being able to use that character's skill bonus for the knowledge check.
The spell specifically states that you can call a specific type, or even individual if called by Name. Also keep in mind, you can't summon an outsider who's hit dice exceed your caster level. This means the caster must be the same level or higher then the one they are summoning.

Hmm, missed that part, there is a lot of "missing" flavor the book as that d20pfsrd does not have that makes it harder to spot in the book, but the book does say from another plane.
That said, yes, one of my characters visits Haven between adventurers on a constant basis, it is where she was born and raised. (Havenborn alternate racial trait and of course the ability to cast Plane Shift.)

I agree, it would sure be funny to do.
The problem I see is that a player could potentially build an aasimar (provided they have a legal way to do so, of course) with insane bonuses on knowledge checks (with a bit of focusing, you can easily get modifiers way higher that the average of higher-level characters), then use those insane bonuses for all their spellcasting characters of higher level (since Planar Inquiry is level 3, you'd have at least 4 levels to maximaize knowledge skills and still have less HD than any caster could have CL).
Since the target of the spell determines the knowledge skill you can roll, I strongly suggest that players should stick to the options given in the bestiaries.
