Do you think you can learn about a person by the questions they ask? That it gives you insight to them?

Answer 1

Wow, what a brilliant deduction. Maybe that's why homeland security is recording all this.

Answer 2

If you are talking about serious questions I would agree that they tell you something about a person. However, some people just like to be silly sometimes and might put out a silly question, just for the fun of it. I doubt whether that will allow for much insight into the person, though.
So personally, if I wonder about someone on yahoo answers, I tend to check their past questions. If they are all silly or offensive or plain stupid, well, I judge that person as not worth my time. If they are mixed, I will go for the interesting questions. I do believe that someone who comes up with interesting questions has an interesting mind.

Answer 3

Not necessarily. Depends on whether the person is answering/asking seriously. A lot of times people do this for fun. (myself as an example) My questions or answers really don't give any true insight about me as a person.

Answer 4

Yes, the questions, and how they are asked definitely give you an insight into the person.

Answer 5

A little bit, but I think it's the way they answer that'll give you a better insight.
