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
