+''What is your idea of perfect happiness?''
+Assuming 'contentment' can substitute - a calm and rational mind, and the ability to exercise compassion.
+''What is your greatest fear?''
+The short answer is that Vulcans endeavour not to experience fear. The long answer would require more space and time than we have here.
+''What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?''
+I try to approach personality traits with understanding and analysis rather than judgement.
+''What is the trait you most deplore in others?''
+See above.
+''Which living person do you most admire?''
+My father.
+''What is your greatest extravagance?''
+Occasionally I indulge in a certain genre of serialised holovid - I believe in FSE they are "Soap Operas"? They provide remarkable insight into their cultures of origin, but I must also admit that I derive satisfaction from a well-executed plot.
+''What is your current state of mind?''
+Open.
+''What do you consider the most overrated virtue?''
+Unconsidered adherence to tradition.
+''On what occasion do you lie?''
+I avoid lying, but it is sometimes necessary to be economical with the truth in social situations.
+''What do you most dislike about your appearance?''
+Nothing. I am at peace with my appearance.
+''Which living person do you most despise?''
+"Holding on to hatred is like taking poison and expecting the enemy to die."
+''What is the quality you most like in a man?''
+Compassion.
+''What is the quality you most like in a woman?''
+Compassion.
+''Which words or phrases do you most overuse?''
+I am told that counselors are notorious for the phrase "And how does that make you feel?"
+''What or who is the greatest love of your life?''
+My family.
+''When and where were you happiest?''
+Whilst meditating.
+''Which talent would you most like to have?''
+Telepathic empathy.
+''If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?''
+Nothing. I am at peace with myself.
+|''What do you consider your greatest achievement?''
+Surviving through adversity.
+''If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?''
+Interesting. I would need more parameters before answering fully.
+''Where would you most like to live?''
+Anywhere I can be of use.
+''What is your most treasured possession?''
+I do not attach sentimental meaning to material objects.
+''What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?''
+Being unable to help others.
+''What is your favorite occupation?''
+Listening.
+''What is your most marked characteristic?''
+Probably my desire to understand others.
+''What do you most value in your friends?''
+Compassion.
+''Who are your favorite writers?''
+I have a slight preference for mythological and transcribed oral works, which tend to have no single established author.
+''Who is your hero of fiction?''
+I am often drawn toward heroes or heroines who triumph through great personal hardships; the list is extensive.
+''Which historical figure do you most identify with?''
+A little-known pre-Enlightenment Vulcan scholar named Tamnet, who lived as male despite being born female until his murder at the age of approximately thirty-one.
+''Who are your heroes in real life?''
+My tutors; my colleagues; my family.
+''What are your favorite names?''
+I have never considered it.
+''What is it that you most dislike?''
+Suffering and inequality.
+''What is your greatest regret?''
+I have none.
+''How would you like to die?''
+Peacefully, at an advanced age.
+''What is your motto?''
+"Reach out to others courteously. Accept their reaching in the same way, with careful hands." (Surak)
