Perspective question

a question that draws out a point of view


Some questions are hard for spects to answer because they aren’t sure what the “right” answer is. A perspective question is easy for spects to answer because it’s asking what they think or feel about something. They already know that.

Perspective questions are useful when reading spects. Ask the spect’s opinion about a situation, a character, or a plan. Their answers give you insights into their priorities and points of view. How they respond also gives you clues about their spect archetype and default modes.

When drawing spects into easy conversation or getting a read on who they are, perspective questions are a useful tool.
