These are questions about you: your values, your beliefs and your life. Love, money, sex, integrity, generosity, pride and death are all here. To respond to these questions, you will need to examine and interpret your past, project yourself into hypothetical situations, face difficult dilemmas and make painful choices. There are no correct or incorrect answers to these questions, only honest or dishonest ones. Let yourself be swept up in these situations, so that you care about the choices you make. Don't simply answer yes or no - probe and explain your responses and pursue interesting tangents - give your imagination full rein.

These questions can be an avenue for individual growth, a tool for deepening relationships, or a quick way to get to know a new friend - these issues are particularly stimulating when explored with others.
