100 profile questions for your yearbook

The profile is the heart of every yearbook — one page per person, filled with what makes your year group what it is. The art is in the questions: a good mix of classics, honest laughs and a couple of deep ones turns a page you have to do into one people still enjoy reading years later.

Here are 100 questions, sorted by style. Pick 15–25 — enough for a full page, without it turning into homework.

Tip: mix the types. Three or four classics for structure, a few funny ones for character, one or two deep ones at the end. In AbiHive the profile committee sets the questions once — everyone fills them in, and the answers flow into the book pages automatically.
