A curated directory of personal websites featuring answers to the Proust Questionnaire, plus the questions for you to answer yourself.

About The Questionnaire

The Proust Questionnaire, though named after French novelist Marcel Proust, he didn't create it. He answered a version, and his answers became famous after his death.

It has its origins in a Victorian parlor game called confession albums. These contained questions to be answered by guests to reveal their tastes and aspirations.

I discovered this delightful exercise through Xanthe Tynehorne's site. It's introspective, and the questions are specific enough to elicit interesting answers while remaining timeless.
