  • I'm most definitely not running on no sleep and there definitely isn't a strawberry stain

  • on this shirt. Hi people, it's Elly here! So I am back at college. That means new teachers,

  • new classes, yadda yadda yadda. For my English class my professor gave us this questionnaire

  • to answer. She just explained that she wanted to know a little more about us and how we

  • think. I didn't think anything of it, so I just took it home and I wanted to do it that

  • night. So when I actually got around to doing this questionnaire, it set me into this huge

  • existential crisis. It was The Proust Questionnaire. If you don't know what the Proust Questionnaire

  • is, it's pretty much this personality questionnaire where it asks you really deep questions and

  • you really have to think about it. And you might be asking yourself how this questionnaire

  • could give me an existential crisis, because questionnaires are supposed to be easy and

  • light. Not this one! For example, the first question on the questionnaire was, "What is

  • your idea of perfect happiness?" ....ummmm? As the questionnaire goes along you just keep

  • getting deeper and deeper like: "What's your greatest fear?" "What's your current state

  • of mind?" "When and where are you happiest?" "How would you like to die?" It's just this

  • list of 35 really insane questions that I wasn't expecting to have to answer. These

  • are the kind of questions that you don't think about. So when I was just laying on my bed,

  • just getting ready to answer this quick questionnaire, I wasn't ready! I felt like if I knew what

  • this questionnaire was ahead of time I would have prepared myself, but I just went head

  • first and I was so deep. I don't even know why I found this questionnaire so hard. It

  • really made me think about my life and the importance I had to it. And what made me happy,

  • what I was scared of, and the little parts of me that I didn't want to share. You have

  • to be really honest with yourself to answer this questionnaire and I found that so hard

  • to do. I mean, yeah, I'm a pretty honest person as it is, but being honest to yourself...

  • The questionnaire ended up taking me a little over an hour to actually complete and it is

  • only 35 questions. Maybe it was just the overwhelming-ness of the day because it was my first day back

  • at class that I got this questionnaire. It made me think about my happiness and where

  • I am in my life right now. I don't know the whole psychology aspect of this questionnaire,

  • but I can definitely say that there is one. And I'd be interested to see how I ranked

  • - if ranking is the correct word. I wanna see how my answers compare to everyone else.

  • Maybe I'm the only one that took this questionnaire seriously. I have no idea. If you're interested

  • more by this questionnaire and the exact questions I did, because I know there are a couple different

  • versions of the questionnaire. I made a Tumblr post; link in the description box. I answered

  • all of the questions, honestly, the way I answered them on the paper. I encourage everyone

  • to do this questionnaire. It really makes you think about yourself. Just go to the link

  • in the description box and do it! And post what you put and I'm looking forward to seeing

  • all those. But that's it. If you liked this video, please make sure to give it a like

  • if you like, and subscribe. And that's it, so I'm gonna go. Bye!

  • Fun Fact: I'm holding a V8 throughout this whole video, but I haven't taken a sip of it yet,

  • because I realized I have lipstick on.
