Speaking About Personality

1. Do you enjoy meeting new people?


Yes, I do, but I admit that it does depend on the context. For example, if I
am with a group of life long friends as well, I feel more confident and relaxed
than if I am alone, when I feel more timid and awkward.
I think that at work I try to put up a facade of being professional and in
control although underneath the surface I am paddling like a swan.

2. Would you describe yourself as a sociable person?


I’d like to say so, as I am always happy to get involved in organizing parties
and gatherings – indeed I can be a bit of a control freak, as I have an eye for
detail. However, I would be more than delighted to be described as reliable
and dependable as we all need friends we can rely on.
I have known my best friends since school, and we trust each other
completely and pick up where we left off each time we see each other.

3. Are you usually punctual or late?


That’s a great question! Every year I make a resolution to be on time for both
work and social meetings, but I have a terrible habit of always being slightly
late.
I know that punctuality is a virtue and I am always embarrassed by being a
bad time keeper, especially when I understand that being late is rude and
disrespectful. I will keep working on improving this negative trait.

4. In which ways are you similar to your friends?


5. Are you similar or different to your brother(s)/sister(s)?

have?
14. Do you think that all successful people have good character traits?
15. Do you think that honesty is an important trait to have in order to be
successful?
16. Do you think that all successful people are honest?
17. Some people say that "success" is simply what others believe to be success.
Do you agree?
18. Do you think success equals happiness?
19. Do you think success and happiness are related?
20. Do you think all successful people are happy?
21. Do you think happiness is important?
22. Would you say that, in general, people in your country are happy?
23. Compared to other countries, do you think people in your country are happier
or less happy?
24. What do you think is the secret of happiness?
25. Do you think money is important for happiness?
26. In your opinion, can money ever take the place of happiness?
27. Do you think people generally choose to make friends with others with similar
personality traits, or with people who are different?
28. Do you think people with same personalities easily get along together?
29. Do you think it's important for friends to share the same, or similar,
personality traits?
30. If you were considering whether to be friends with someone, (including
girlfriend/boyfriend), what personal traits would be important for you?

personalities?
