Open-Ended Questions * Spark a longer conversation * Require more thought, reflection, and details to be answered Examples: What would you be doing if you weren’t working at the museum? What if you took the train from city to city? How did you come to like jazz so much? How did you two start dating? Why do you think she’s struggling with that? What do you think about this painting? Limiting Questions * Keep the conversation short * Can be answered with a single word like “yes” or “no” Examples: May I use the restroom? Did you finish your homework? Have you seen this woman before? Are you going home for the holidays? Is there a concert tonight? Would you like some tea?
