EDIT: In the video I mistakenly credit the original quote "'It is easier to judge the mind of a man by his questions rather than his answers)." to Voltaire. Sam Sawmy (in the comments) correctly pointed out that it actually comes from Pierre-Marc-Gaston de Lévis writings.

Situation What's happening? Clarification Why did you say that? Probing assumptions What could we assume instead? Probing reasons and evidence What would be an example? Viewpoints and perspectives What's another way of looking at it? Implications and consequences How does .... impact..... Thank you, great breakdown. I find this useful in outlining essays as well. Making sure I covered all the points the reader might be interested in.

Great video, very pedagogic and connected to experience. I loved the mentions to Einstein and Socrates, the six questions methodology-structure applies to humankind and education. What matters is being empathetic and be polite. Thank you Mr Adams.

Hi Martin! Hope all is well in Bolivia. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The quote attributed to Voltaire , is in fact a version from Pierre Marc Gaston de Lévis, Duke of Lévis, 'Il est encore plus facile de juger de l'esprit d'un homme par ses questions que par ses réponses. (It is easier to judge the mind of a man by his questions rather than his answers)

Ive been applying these videos about how to improve conversation and ask good questions but i always get dry or one liner replies from my friends. It feels like it always one sided and im the only one interested to keep the conversation going. After multiple attempts i believe the problem is not me but them. Anyway, thank you for this one! 🌸

Hey Paige. Thanks for asking. I think the key is not to be clinical about asking questions. They are part of a conversation driven by your own curiosity, not trying to get through this list. Hope that helps.

If someone's cheating you, questions may be irrelevant as they might be lying to you and not answering your questions. if possible, get ou of that situation.

@@bikashbehera5846 Thanks for clarifying. It seems that you have two distinct questions. For the first, in my life, questioning is important as it helps me to make sure I am not assuming anything, that I can make sense of what is happening, that I can understand at a deeper level. As for the second question, I'm not convinced I have to question everything. Just when I need to do what I mentioned above. There are times when a question is not appropriate. Hope that helps.
