Advanced questions

Before starting advanced type questions, all players should review their performance on basic questions. Were we able to be absolutely honest, or did we find ourselves answering 'to impress the other person' or to give a certain impression of ourselves? Only if we are able to be totally honest in intermediate questions should we progress to advanced level.

Advanced type questions are about things we believe, but still must not reveal any personal details. Here are some examples:
