  4. If there was one event in your life which really shaped you, made you the person you are today, what would it be?

  6. Have you ever made material sacrifices because of your integrity?
  7. Describe a public personality who exemplifies everything you’d like to be yourself, then another public personality who incarnates everything you’d least like to be.

  9. Do you have a favourite joke, quotation or proverb?
