What two questions would you ask to get the most information about who a person truly is?

There aren't. Because it's what a person does, not what they say, that counts.

I'd see how they treat a person that needs help, and how they treat a person they have power over.

Agree with MrsTerryPratcett although I wouldn't have had the sense to work it out!

This has made me laugh Grin Sorry.

MrsT is obviously right, but I can also tell a lot about a person if they like Game of Thrones or pizza Grin.

I'd probably ask if they like cats. If someone doesn't mind them, then fine, but if they outright hate them, I won't even try to be friends.

If they like Brass Eye and Peep Show they are generally OK people I find.

  1. Are you a dog or a cat lover?
  2. Would you spend an unexpected windfall on a holiday or save it?

  1. Can you define philosophy?
  2. Why would you start a thread about it?

I'm clearly taking things too seriously!

  1. Are you a dog person or a cat person?
  2. Are you fussy about food?


There you go Grin

I don't think I've changed my spelling. Do I have a doppelgänger?!?!?

You only need to ask one question:

When you were a kid, did you scoff all your Easter eggs over one or two days or did you make them last for ages?

Tells you all you need to know.

If you came across Hitler as a baby and you had a gun- would you shoot him?

Jesus fucking Christ! What a question.
I would probably just kidnap him and bring him up myself and hope he was brought up wrong and not born evil!

I have no idea what I would ask...
