The question
Which trait in yourself do you like least?Originally asked
The Guardian, to a different person each week, The Q&A
The Guardian's The Q&A has retained this Proust-derived prompt from at least 2007 through 2026, and ABC independently put it to the Obamas in 2011.

I’ve got no patience.
I am a massive people-pleaser and it brings me nothing but trouble.
I talk too much.

Indecision and wishy-washiness.
I know too many really good people to choose just one person—and that is not indecision.
I’m a very fearless person.
