The question

Which trait do you most dislike in yourself?

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.

You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.

I always enjoy talking with players to find out what they want to achieve because each individual is different. I think once you understand what their objectives are and what they want to achieve, you are looking to find that commitment from them.
