“Your idea of adventure is:”

Okay your match is not one who’s into staring at walls and watching paint dry, so she sends you this canned first question:

Your idea of adventure is:

A. Whitewater Rafting
B. Karaoke singing
C. Trying a different route to work
D. Ordering a dish you’ve never tried before

How NOT to answer: If you pick B, C or D, not only do you lack any meaningful sense of adventure, you lack a sense of creativity.

This is clearly a write-in question, buddy. The best answer for this is to write what is the most adventuresome thing you’ve done in the past year. You ought to write the risky things you go for.

This article makes it clear why these types of canned questions should be included in the Questionnaire. They defeat the purpose of the questionnaire; especially when you are trying to be something you are not, just to sound more appealing to a particular person. Be who you are, and answer it truthfully, so that you don’t end up having to go skydiving with your match on the first date, like you said you would while trying to sound cool in canned questions…

Perhaps, with a humorous response or throw some mystery into the mix…
