is it easier to manipulate people by questions or by answers?

Question

Okay, I seem to realize with questions, as you draw the attention to a certain issue.

and with the answers to certain aspects of the issue.

Answer 1

I would say, it is easier to manipulate people by questions. Just changing and rearranging one or two words in a question can produce an entirely different set of answers from the same group of people.

Answer 2

Actually, by speech patterns. Check out Frogs into Princes by Bandler and Grinder (I think that is how their names are spelled). It is the science of NLP (Neron linguistic programing). A quick overview of the subject is How to Make a Man Fall in Love with You. Silly title for a great primer book. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I suppose that if you become adept at manipulating people it does not matter which you use - either would work well. Furthermore, not all people are lead the same way so questions may work better on some people and answers on others.

Answer 4

both seem to be the same. if you want to manipulate, you need to focus on a weakness which can be attained by both. you also have to have the attitude. you have to be sure of yourself and dominating. show no weakness and dont give an inch. finally you have to learn how to duck real fast if you run into someone like me cause i have no tolerance.

Answer 5

Both,either with questions or answers you can lead the way, to the side or path you want

Answer 6

Depends on the question and the answer.

Answer 7

I don't know, what do you think? there, now you have an answer and a question
