Talk:Asking Great Questions

Wait, ineffective questions? IMO these have their place in this article "Great Questions" none-the-less. I see what you mean ... but ineffective may be taken as a judgement, too. It's all about when to use which type of question ... you can take "leading question" to open up totally new ways of thinking for example.--Pitpat 15:00, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I can see where you are going with that; however in the context of discipleship I think they are weak. We can challenge people without using leading questions. Leading questions can also be manipulative. You also shouldn't use leading questions with children or impressionable people - it is too easy to get a "right" answer or push a view point where it should not be... I think door closer questions have limited use too. They are questions, but the GREAT questions are the great ones!!!!
 * I looked at the PDF and I think John was writing in note form: I think he might not have considered where to put the paragraphs most fully. --Kev-The-Hasty 20:19, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you think about: Less challenging questions (use with care)? --Pitpat 11:16, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah - how about Less effective questions (use with care)? --Kev-The-Hasty 09:17, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

(These questions mostly have a yes/no answer. They need to be rewritten.) -- Steve
 * Hi Steve, thanks for the comment. I disagree, though: the good thing about fresh questions is not that the answer is complex. It's just that sometimes we need to question what is assumed to be "normal". And thus, the very process of weighing the alternatives opens your mind that there are alternatives. --Pitpat (talk) 10:46, 8 September 2014 (CEST)
