Help me come up with some interesting questions for a fun survey

[lorene]

People would be surprised to know that you _________________

What would the title of your autobiography be?

Do you want fries with that?

So if your plan is to only publish one answer a month, it would give you 8 YEARS worth of responses. In that time, half your respondents would have moved on to other jobs and the other half are saying “is he seriously still printing what I filled out a decade ago?”

How about this. 24 questions, two questions published per month for one year. Next year this time, you do it again. I guarantee you that when you quarter the number of questions, you’ll at least double the number of people willing to participate.

Enderw24, you’ve displayed a total lack of understanding about how this works. Could be partly my fault.

Anyway, I have re-considered the number of questions; I’ll probably go with 50 to make it more manageable and encourage more participation.

Most famous person you’ve met? Or seen?
How many states have you visited? (US-centric)
Do you believe in ghosts?
*Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?
What is the highest place you’ve ever been? (Mountain/building)
What was your first car? (Mercury Bobcat that we called the “screaming tree” due to its red blood paint and fake wood paneling)

How fast have you ever driven in a car? ( 126 mph 1988 SAAB 900S on I680 headed down into the Missouri River valley just Northeast of Omaha)

What did you wear to prom? (red cumberbunded tux- but it matched my date’s dress that she bought over a year earlier. She was so scary that I ended up breaking up with her two weeks after prom when she started humming, “here comes the bride”)

Who taught you to drive? (Dick Hunhoff- my geometry teacher and driver’s ed instructor!)

Where was your High School’s party location? (In a pasture 12 miles northwest of town, just across the county line as for some reason kids thought that being over the county line prevented being arrested.)

Which of your parents are you more like?

Are you your mom’s favorite child?

Which of your siblings turned out the most different than expected?

I think the key is to think about nostalgic things that people inevitably have a story about - traveling, cars, alcohol, dating, HS.

Don’t use any questions that presume your colleagues grew up in America, attended high school, have biological parents and siblings, and come from a typical middle-class background.

Unless, of course you know that your colleagues grew up in America, attended high school, have biological parents and siblings, and come from a typical middle-class background.
