You probably remember how at school we exchanged homemade questionnaires — beautiful notebooks with lists of questions. Their content differed from case to case: everyone tried to create such a questionnaire in order to stand out not only with the design, but also with the questions. The more intricate they were, the more interesting it was to answer them.

The tradition of filling out questionnaires originated, however, not in Russian schools, but among visitors to intellectual salons in 19th-century England.

Representatives of high society answered questions in special albums and exchanged them. This game quickly spread around the world and became popular among different segments of the population. It is known that the questionnaires were filled out by the German philosopher Karl Marx, the American writer John Updike, the Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky, the American scientist Arthur Heller and other celebrities.

There are many options for questionnaires in the world, but the most popular of all was the questionnaire by Marcel Proust, a French writer, author of the seven-volume novel In Search of Lost Time.

Proust himself filled out the questionnaire several times in his life, but only two variants have survived to this day: 1886, when he was 13 or 14 years old, and 1891-1892 (19-20 years old). The questionnaires include 24 and 31 questions, respectively. Since the questionnaires repeat each other, we decided to publish a more complete version.

Many of these questions may never have occurred to you, and you can ask them not only to your friends, but also to yourself.
