The Proust Questionnaire is a questionnaire about one's personality, first popularized by the responses given by the French writer Marcel Proust.erwards, titled "by Marcel Proust himself," was found in 1924. It was auctioned on May 27, 2003 for the sum of 102,000 euros.
Inspired by Bernard Pivot, James Lipton, the host of the TV program Inside the Actor's Studio, gives an adapted version of the Proust Questionnaire to some of his guests. Lipton has often incorrectly characterized the questionnaire itself as an invention of Marcel Proust.
A similar questionnaire is regularly seen in a section of the magazine Vanity Fair, answered by various celebrities.
