call for additional interview questions

Today, out of the blue, I asked a new interview question: "If you could be any ingredient in a salad, what ingredient would you be?"  Giselle answered brilliantly: "I don't like salads, so I would be a crouton." 

(Huh. Just after I started writing this, I realized I was actually doing a version of yesterday's journal topic.)

The moment caused me to realize that I'm getting bored with these interview questions.  So, I'm calling for suggestions-- what else do you think I should ask?  Please comment to this post with your ideas.

  1. Some possible questions could be:
    - do you see yourself as a leader or a follower and why?
    - if you were told you had one week to live, what would you do?
    - how did you find out Santa wasn’t real?
    - what are 3 pet peeves?
    - extrovert or introvert?
    - how would you describe a friend?
    - if you had three wishes what would they be?
    - what are some conspiracy theories you believe?

    3. (Most colleges have this question on their page) Would you like to be a small fish in a the ocean or a big fish in a small pond? why?
