Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
51. What question could you ask to find out the most about a person?
My answer (fair’s fair) is a well- timed “how are you?” I find if you ask at a moment they’re concentrating on something else, or otherwise demonstrate genuine interest or even curiosity, most people (yes, even us English) will give an honest answer, sometimes more honest than they mean to.
Oohh, what an interesting question! I feel like I would also ask "how are you doing?" But or me, I would ask "What do you want to do?" Sometimes, they'll answer what they want to do in the present moment like grabbing a coffee, or they'll dive into a monologue about what they want for their future or dream job/education. I think it reveals more about the person whether they answer in "present" or "future" terms. You get to know how they feel or where they want to be right now or you understand what they really want for themselves in the long term.
