Who are you? When have you been most committed, passionate and enthusiastic? When have you been most creative? When have you been most sure of yourself and your decisions? What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment? When have other people considered you to be most successful? When have you enjoyed your work/life most? What talents were you relying on, and using, in these situations? For what would you take a very strong stand? What about the world puzzles or disturbs you that you could make an impact on? What tasks do you like at RA when you have a choice? What activities are you drawn towards out of work? If money were no concern, what would you be doing?
