Marcel Proust's Questionnaire - tarotized

Post by Nemia »

This questionnaire appeared weekly in a newspaper I used to read; every week, another artist, actor, politician or scientist answered it. It's supposedly a questionnaire tossed around in the 19th century, and Marcel Proust is said to have answered it twice.

I thought it might be fun to put it here, a bit tarotized of course.

1. Where would you want to live?

2. What is the highest earthly happiness you can imagine?

3. Which mistakes can you forgive most easily?

4. What would be your worst misfortune?

5. Your favorite heroes/heroines in literature?

6. Your favorite person/s in history?

7. Your favorite person/s in real life?

8. Your favorite painter or sculptor?

9. Your favorite composer/band/musician?

10. Your favorite tarot author?

11. Your favorite tarot artist?

12. Which qualities do you value most in a woman?

13. Which qualities do you value most in a man?

14. Your worst character trait?

15. What or who would you like to be?

16. Your favorite colour?

17. Your favorite bird/animal?

18. Your favorite book?

19. Your favorite plant/flower/tree?

20. Your favorite tarot suit?

21. Your favorite tarot trump?

22. Your favorite court card/s?

23. Which natural talent would you like to have?

24. Your favorite name/s?

25. How would you like to die?

26. Your state of mind right now?

27. Your motto in life?
