Want to get better at asking good questions? Start by asking and answering this one: "What is your favorite question?" (I'd actually love to hear your answers) Another good question is: "If you could ask any question to any person alive, dead, or fictitious what would it be?" The speaker is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, but he got caught up in his Sudoku analogy resulting in the title being a bit misleading. In case this is helpful for anyone, here are my takeaways with a few things added. Good questions will include (at least some of) these features: -The question is worded clearly, directly, and succinctly. -The question explores limits/boundaries through extremes (i.e. "What is the MOST/WORST/FASTEST...?" Like playing 20 Questions, this helps refine the picture you are filling in with answer to good questions) -The question will lead to new/more questions (as an exercise, try to identify what your follow up question will be, but be sure to adapt to the answer) -When looking to expand a conversation, use "open ended questions" (why, how) rather than "closed ended questions" (yes/no or either/or questions, or questions with potentially single word answers) (PRO TIP: This is very effective in marketing/probing as a way to find what someone needs. It is trained in Apple store orientation.) -Avoid shaping an answer through the question (Example: "What relationship problems are you having right now?")
Thank you! Your talk reminds me of a quote a friend shared with me recently "ACT ALWAYS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CHOICES.” (The personal 'code of ethics' by Heinz von Foerster, architect of cybernetics.)
I got five things from this: 1) the difference that schools vs. business place on asking questions 2) Bell Lab example about questions 3) the 3 cognitive skill overlap was interesting 4) the question posing part was interesting (two pages of his ppt). 5) types of questions (this is over-exhaustive/over-kill, would be helpful to narrow this list) I would point out I think his method tends to ever so slightly assume solving objects vs. humans. For instance motive seems to be left out of his method.
I have a nine years old boy who asked me once if we can find petrol in the sea how they get it out from its place without we lose it and spread in water and I'd we missed that will be a disaster it might kill living things in the sea and also very dangerous for us as human .. I think he is very clever but I don't know how to take care and raise him as it should be or is it normal?

*_TITLE FAIL!!!_*
13:00 _"I can't teach you how to ask good questions..."_
Agreed. Title should've been "General Techniques for Question posing."
i think he lost too much time goin through his sudoku questions, and he should have spent more time on the process of questioning ...
He was going to all the sodoku questions because those are examples of good questions! :)
He was definitely obsessed with asking questions to sudoku maker.
Just like me thinking of my survey research for the thesis
One question is missing. Why there is no Zero in suduko puzzle.:p
too much question on soduko,
Ask Good Question!
This was incredibly painful, Was it imperative that he ask so many questions in the same subcategories?
