What questions you would ask a person you just met in order to get to know them better wat kind of person?

Answer 1

What are your interests and hobbies?
or simply" Tell me something about yourself. That way the person has the liberty to reveal only the things he wants to.

Answer 2

1. What religion are you/Do you have a religion/Are you a religious person/Where you raised with a religion? (It's a legit question since religious belief is a vital part of a persons life and can often dictate their moral and ethical behavior.) A follow up about the subject is necessary and can be revealing. A question such as: how often do you attend service (whatever kind)? when was the last time you went? ect Questions like this let you know how seriously they take their religion and let you know if you need to be careful in your behavior or if you can cut loose and be ok. If you don't know much about the religion they practice ask questions that you are genuinely curious about. Try to be offensive. The person is likely to ask you reciprocal questions so be ready to answer and be honest.

2. Depending on their age, ask them a question that could relate to a time prior to any marriage or serious relationship. A lot of people after being in a serious relationship try to "get back" to who they were before that so stay away from the personal stuff at first. Asking questions that allow them to describe themselves from an earlier perspective will put them in that "place" and often make them more responsive since you are not focusing on hurtful memories but rather positive experiences. It will also allow the person to tell a story from their perspective and you can see how they handled the situation giving you insight as to how the person deals with particular experiences. An example, if you're in college you could tell a story about high school that was funny or embarassing and ask them about something similar if they ever did anything embarassing, ect. If older start talking about your first job or car and ask them about theirs (hardly anyone have a good first job and many funnies are usually made about it).

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Questions that you ask depend on the person you meet and where you meet. The response that you get is based on your skill in getting the information without annoying the person.

I avoid asking direct questions about age, nationality, religion family, and education when I meet a person for the first time. All these are too personal and many people do not like to give too much personal information in the first meeting.

But many taxi drivers never stop asking about you. Of course, nobody minds saying which country he comes from. After that, it becomes a headache. Singapore and Malaysian taxi drivers show off their skills in English way.

Please do not get me wrong. I prefer a discreet approach. I would show interest in what a person is saying and let the conversation drift on a variety of topics before I ask a personal question.

Imagine if you met the chairman of a large multinational in a party and popped a silly question, asking which company he is working for. He may give you a stern look, ignore you and walk away.

I haven't forgotten a silly joke that I heard when I was in school.. An Asian man met a European lady in a party. He asked asked her, "Are you married?" She replied, "No". He asked her next, "How many children do you have?"

People who are too nosey and keep asking questions without registering what a person said a moment earlier, can't get good replies. Society is getting quite sophisticated. Asking personal questions is a skill which comes with experience.

The Dale Carnegie approach is to trigger a conversation with a compliment. After the conversation warms up, you can show interest in what a person says and get a lot of answers without asking direct personal questions.

In our eagerness to talk we forget how to listen. When asking questions, we must listen carefully before we ask the next question.
