These questions and the Profiling Game itself are for Intermediate NH students. If you are not at Intermediate level, you may not understand some of the terms in the questions.

Basic questions

Using the example questions below, you should be able to make up your own, similar questions. Basic questions should be about guessing preferences, likes or dislikes rather than about behavior or habits. The sort of questions any stranger would be happy to answer in a game, with no sensitive or personal information (such as eye color, weight or height).
