How do you find a good question?

Therefore, I don’t have personal opinions or preferences when it comes to finding good questions. However, I can suggest some tips on how you can find good questions to ask:

Identify your purpose: Determine the reason why you want to ask a question. Are you trying to gather information, spark a conversation, or challenge someone’s thinking? Once you know your purpose, you can tailor your question accordingly.

Brainstorm: Take some time to brainstorm ideas for questions that relate to your purpose. Write down as many questions as you can think of, without judging them. Then, review your list and pick out the ones that stand out as the most interesting or thought-provoking.

Consider your audience: Think about who you will be asking the question to and tailor your question to their interests, knowledge, and experience. This will make it more likely that they will engage with your question and give you a thoughtful answer.

Use open-ended questions: Open-ended questions are questions that can’t be answered with a simple yes or no. They require the respondent to provide a more detailed response, which can lead to more interesting and insightful discussions.

Take inspiration from others: Look for questions that have been asked in books, articles, or on social media that relate to your purpose or topic. You can also ask people in your network for their favorite questions, or search online for “thought-provoking questions” to get some ideas.
