One interesting candidate question is: "Who are your heroes", applied recursively.
I remember seeing Bill Gates say "Richard Feynman". And in his writing Feynman says heroesque things about Einstein, Oppenheimer, and Bethe. I don't know for Oppenheimer and Bethe, but Einstein certainly expressed Newton as a hero. Which is a pretty interesting endpoint.

Einstein has a bust of Goethe on his desk. I believe that is who he admired most.
