The questions I struggled with the most were…
Which historical figure do you most identify with?
I struggled the most with the question about which historical figure we relate to most because when I thought about it, I could not think of an answer that made sense, or related to me. It was difficult to narrow down every person I admired from the past, and all the way back in time. I could not quite figure out who I could relate to, but eventually, I did find an answer that I could relate to at least a little bit.
The answers I will probably change in 5 years are…
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?
Which living person do you most admire?
I will probably change my answer about an overrated virtue because my opinions of the world and others will change with experience. I will also probably have a different answer about who I admire most because I will meet more people in my lifetime and that will shape me as a person. This will really change my view and what characteristics I find admirable.
The answers that surprised me the most were…
What is the quality you most like in a man?
What is the quality you most like in a woman?
I was most surprised my an answers to what qualities I admire in others because my answers were pretty repetitive. I found that I basically feel strongly about specific characteristics, including strength and honesty. I think honesty is so valuable because it is quite difficult to find a genuinely honest people in the evolving world.
The questions I had an instinctual reaction to and could easily answer were...
What is your greatest extravagance?
Who are your heroes in real life?
I had a quick response to who my heroes are in real life. I automatically knew my parents would be the right answer because I love them with everything I am. They are loving people who are able to stay with me through everything that we have struggled with. I love that they take care of everything and keep my sister and me safe and happy with the life that we were given by them.
Then...Expand on one...for example, if your answer to number 29 was “Marie Antoinette”, explain why in a short paragraph.
Question: What do you most value in your friends?
Answer: Their ability to love imperfections.
I think that my friends are very accepting people that can love people for their imperfections rather than in spite of them. It is amazing for me to see how accepting they are to everyone and how understanding they are with me, no matter how irrational I get. They can see characteristics in others that I cannot and they open my mind up to new opportunities with new people. With my friends, I feel like I can really be myself.
