a great person
Who is your admirable person?
Before, you often were asked who you respect.
Instead of that question, recently you are inquired "Who do you admire?"
The difference is that the person you look up to must have a nice personality.
That person must be a meritorious and good person from any person's perspective.
Instead, each personal admirable person may be an athlete, an entertainer, or even YOUTUBER for today's children.
That person may be the top in his world and is said to be "wow! Incredible!", but he might not be a hero for non-supportive people in the personal and moral affairs.
But this question tells the respondent's hobbies and preferences.
