Revealing Questions

#156

Questions that truly reveal someone’s personality and capabilities (answer both the direct question and why you chose that answer or how you'd be doing that action):

1. If you could see 24 hours into the future, what would you be doing?
2. Which movie deserves a sequel?
3. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
4. Would you accept the gift of reading other people’s minds if it meant you could never turn it off?
5. Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?
6. Would you rather be able to eat as much as you want with no weight gain, or require only 3 hours of sleep a day?
7. What do you want to be remembered for?
8. If you had to do it over again, what would you study in school?
9. If you had to choose to live without one of your 5 senses, which one would you give up?
10. If you had your own TV network, what would it be about?
11. In what ways are you the same as your childhood self?
12. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
13. If you’re in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or have someone cheer you up?
14. Would you rather know without a doubt the purpose and direction of your life or never have to worry about money for the rest of your life?
15. If you could master one skill you don’t have right now, what would it be?
16. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?
17. Would you rather be married in an arranged marriage or spend the rest of your life single?
18. If you could be someone of the opposite sex for a day, what would be the first thing you do?
19. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
20. Would you rather have an extra hour everyday or have $40 given to you free and clear everyday?

This questionnaire reminded me of TBBT S8E16, wherein Sheldon and Penny ask each other a series of questions that would allow them to supposedly 'fall in love'.

The idea is to basically ask personal, thought-provoking questions and mix it up with questions that are fun, casual, intriguing, and don’t hint at any signs of manipulation.
