Proust Questionnaire

Not that anyone cares to know random little facts about little old me, but I love filling out questionnaires. I was reading the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen book called, "Influence." They have a section in the book of them answering the famous Proust questions. The Proust Questionnaires is one of the most famous ones of all times. MARCEL PROUST was a French writer who believed that people must know and understand themselves before they could know or understand others. He developed a list of subjective questions that he felt would help reveal to people their true selves and the inner personalities of those around them.
