Panda Group Questionnaire – Marcin Foss

The Proust Questionnaire is an ingenious device for discovering the roots of one’s personality in just several questions. It was popularized by French author Marcel Proust, who believed that answering these queries reveals what you truly are: greedy or kind-hearted; confident or insecure… 

There are different versions of this questionnaire. Over the years it was changed and modified according to the situation and particular needs. 

Panda Group Magento Agency’s Backstage

At Panda Group we have also created our own version of the Proust Questionnaire and asked our team members to answer them. Our purpose is to let us know each other better. And we had fun answering them and spending some time on self-recognition. 

In this fast-moving world stopping for a while and thinking about such details as annoying sounds, favourite characters and favourite places can be refreshing. Many thanks to all Pandas ready to share their thoughts and show their nature.

My name is Marcin Foss

1. My favourite activity? My favourite activity is to ride a motorbike on county roads. Stopping from time to time and taking pictures of interesting places. 
2. What is my favourite place? And Why? My favourite place is my home. It is a safe harbour which I maintain and upgrade. The second, best is the warm Mediterranean beach next to the Azure sea. Those are safe, comfortable spots with a lot of peace and great views. I also connect it to a relaxed state.
