- The question I struggled with the most was #8 which was, what do you think is the most overrated virtue. I felt that all the virtues were necessary and not really overrated, so that was difficult.
- The answer I will probably change in 5 years are, what do you consider your greatest achievement, because I'm only a junior in high school at the moment.
- The answer that surprised me the most was, what is the trait you most deplore in yourself, because usually questionnaire's ask what is the trait we most admire about ourselves, opposed to deploring.
- The question I had an instinctual reaction to and could easily answer was, which talent would you most like to have, because I always picture my life as if I were doing something differently.
- For question #3, it asks, what is the trait you most deplore about yourself, and I put, my quiet nature, because I feel like it's hard for me to express myself in environments such as school because I'm not totally close with my classmates, which is why I'm more soft spoken, but when I'm with my close friends and family, I am more outgoing, so my wish is to act more like myself around people I may not be completely close with.
