What is something you absolutely can’t do but would like to try?NEW!
“Conquer every country in the world,” “Live with 100 kitties,” “Spend 100 million yen in a single day”—many of us have probably thought about things we’d love to try even if they’re hard to achieve, right? Here’s an idea: turn those ambitions into a quiz.
People who know your usual hobbies, favorites, and personality might even guess your secret dreams.
After enjoying the quiz, have everyone share their own ambitions too—it’s sure to liven things up even more.
What did you buy recently?
How about talking about the things you’ve bought recently and sharing opinions on whether they were good or bad? Rather than everyday consumables, it’s best to focus on noteworthy new products or big purchases that improve your life.
If you also learn what they pay attention to when they buy something, you can get a feel for their day-to-day life.
Be sure to ask where they bought it, what they bought, and what impressions they had, and get to know their personality.
Are you team rice or team bread for breakfast?
It’s often said that breakfast is an essential element for getting through the day with energy.
This survey asks which staple food you choose for breakfast—rice or bread—at the start of your day.
If you eat something other than rice or bread, or if you skip breakfast altogether, we’ll also look closely at those responses, including the reasons why.
In addition to the main staple, it’s recommended to pay attention to what you pair with it and learn about how people approach their meals.
What has moved you the most in your life so far?
This is a question that asks someone to recall the moment in their life when they were most moved.
Let’s approach it from various angles—such as times they were moved by real-life experiences or by encountering a work of art.
Even the nature of being moved differs by person—joy, sadness, and more—so through the questions, you can get a sense of what stirs that person’s emotions.
It also seems like a question that can reveal whether the person readily expresses their feelings and how easily they are emotionally affected.
What club activities did you do?
This question asks what kind of club activities you belonged to during your school days and how you were active there.
Through the clubs you joined, we can learn what you’re interested in, and we can also get a sense of your personality from how you spent your time.
If you find someone from the same club, you can get excited over common topics; if not, it’s still an enjoyable topic from the perspective of each person’s memories.
By focusing on how seriously you engaged with the club and what results you achieved, we can get an even deeper sense of who you are.
