ok I actually like the "what do you do for work" question, it feels easy to ask interesting followups to that, gives u an efficiently compressed info dump about the person. imma start countersignalling as a bad question asker by using that as my initial go-to

My least favorite questions are the extremely open-ended generic ones. I remember my mom asking me "say something in Spanish" and I would sit there almost-crying for 5 minutes trying to figure out which thing to say.

depends on the context tho! sometimes the "tell me something about yourself" q is very interesting, because it lets you understand a lot about who's in front of you just by judging what they come up with

Reckon it can be more revealing in the sense that it gives the person the liberty to describe what constitutes them. Is it their hobbies, their work, their achievements?

open question does not exclude anyone - an open question flies in space, sometimes a seeker of hidden content catches it - most often it ends with an explosion of difficult answers and consequences - the injured are compensated 🤔✌️
