10 questions to ask someone who will reveal the most about them
Some people have mastered the art of telling you so little about themselves but making you believe you know a lot. Such people exist everywhere and you don't care until you really want to know something about that person and he/she means a lot to you.
In such cases it is important to ask questions BUT the most important is to ask the right questions that will unlock that person's personality.
10. What is that one thing you would tell about yourself if you wanted to make a positive impression on someone?
That's one way of asking someone about their achievements in life. Something they are low key proud of.
On the contrary, if you ask someone directly about what makes them proud of themselves, the answers are very rare that they would give the same answer.
9. How do you deal with stress or a bad mood?
In this way you indirectly ask him or her how he deals with himself in his bad days, because everyone has bad days. So it is very important to know what his coping mechanism is.
8. What lessons have you learned from your past experiences?
Researchers believe that "researchers have shown time and again that people's impressions of others are prone to bias." Therefore, it would make them uncomfortable to ask about his or her relationship directly and not talk about it properly. While you get a better output this way.
7. What is that one thing or person in your life that is most important to you?
This question can reveal a very important aspect of a person's personality if they appreciate something in life that shows whether they are materialistic or not. If they appreciate a person, that will reveal the importance of that person to him.
6. The hardest thing you had to overcome in your life?
This will reveal his or her past experiences that have had a strong impact on their lives. This will help you open that person up to you.
5. What are the things you most regret in life that you wish you had done differently?
Two aspects of this question; his or her regrets while at the same time making you feel energized and positive through the second part of the statement by letting them talk about improvements.
4. What do you do to improve yourself?
This shows that person's will to improve themselves. How he is not hopeless and eager to learn.
3. If you could do anything right now, anywhere, what would you do?
This will show his or her aspirations and hopes in life, the best way to really know what he really wants in his life, not what he already has.
2. What is one thing you know for sure that no one can guess about you?
This won't exactly reveal the 'dark side', but it will give you an underlying character of his personality.
1. What do you believe in?
This is the question that will help you gain insight into that person's heart and mind. Because your beliefs come from the heart, while your mind supports them.
