The focus of this blog post and the Proust Questionnaire in general is to figure out your true nature. Even though I don't believe that a questionnaire can define a human being, I think it is interesting because in thinking about some of the questions you might discover something about yourself.
1. What is your idea of perfect happiness? I don't think of happiness as a goal so I would say being able to control the state of your mental would be pretty close. 2. What is your greatest fear? Getting lost is my greatest fear. I don't like the idea of not being able to return to something familiar. 3. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? Not honest with myself. It is hardest to catch because you could tell yourself a lie that you completely believe. 4. What is the trait you most deplore in others? The trait that I most deplore in other people is not admitting that they made a mistake. I also think that making mistakes with consequences is one of the best ways to learn. 5. Which living person do you most admire? I admire a friend of mine who has the best work ethic i have seen. Having a good work ethic is a trait that I admire. 6. What is your greatest extravagance? My greatest extravagance is eating at restaurants. I think that I spend too much money at restaurants too frequently. 7. What is your current state of mind? I think my current state of mind is developing because I try to be as open minded as i can about new things. 8. What do you consider the most overrated virtue? Justice is the most overrated virtue because everyone has a different sense of justice. I also think that justice can be used unfairly to marginalize certain groups. 9. On what occasion do you lie? If I can use it to get out of something. I always try to weigh out the pros and cons before though. 10. What do you most dislike about your appearance? Through high school the circles around my eyes have evolved into craters. I can't get rid of them and i know they are going to look terrible in my 50s. 11. Which living person do you most despise? Mike Pence 12. What is the quality you most like in a man? Open Mindedness because I think refusing to change an aspect of yourself just because you're not willing to give it any thought is frustrating to me. 13. What is the quality you most like in a woman? Open Mindedness because I think refusing to change an aspect of yourself just because you're not willing to give it any thought is frustrating to me. 14. Which words or phrases do you most overuse? I over use the phrase “i understand” a lot even if i don't. This is because either I don't want to hear the explanation or I want to figure it out myself. 15. What or who is the greatest love of your life? 16. When and where were you happiest? The beach during the summer of 2017. At a friends house who lives there. 17. Which talent would you most like to have? I would like to be able to play the guitar well. A lot of the music I listen to is centered around the skill of the guitar player and the sound he/she can produce. 18. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would change my work ethic because it is weak. I know it is not the worst but I get anxious thinking about keeping jobs that are intensive. 19. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Getting into college. I was a little close to not making it through high school so I would count it as a great achievement. 20. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? I would come back as a crocodile because no one messes with crocodiles. Also their job is to sit in the cool water and chill. 21. Where would you most like to live? I would most like to live somewhere warm on the west coast. I was born over there so it would be a little nostalgic too. 22. What is your most treasured possession? My most treasured possession is my computer because it is very useful. I also love learning about computers and their capabilities. 23. What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Extended solitude seems pretty bad. I watched a Russian prison documentary where the inmates only got 1 hour of daylight in a caged off area and were required to pace their cell for the hours they were awake. It seemed unpleasant. 24. What is your favorite occupation? Network engineering is my dream occupation. I really enjoy computer science as a whole but “hacking” and hack-proofing intrigues me. 25. What is your most marked characteristic? Passive until provoked but not necessarily in a bad way. I don't go out of my way for random people. 26. What do you most value in your friends? Ability to not take everything so seriously. A good laugh is nice. 27. Who are your favorite writers? I really like Agatha Christie even though I'm not a big reader. I also like Stephen King but Agatha Christie is better. 28. Who is your hero of fiction? Vol’jin from wow because even though he was from a video game he was written in a way that resonated with me and he was written as a great leader which is a trait that i admire. 29. Which historical figure do you most identify with? 30. Who are your heroes in real life? David Bowie and Michael Jackson. In my opinion both are phenomenal musicians especially David Bowie and they both carried the face of a decade. Both are also very inspirational. 31. What are your favorite names? John, Jerry, Jimmy 32. What is it that you most dislike? 33. What is your greatest regret? Being unable to understand things. Looking back on something that you now see more clearly and realizing something you did not consider to me is a terrible feeling. 34. How would you like to die? Quickly. 35. What is your motto? "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken" -Perdue
