Types of Questions

When considering the interviews to be undertaken with industry professionals, it is important to ask the right questions, and know the different types of questions that can be asked. These include:

  • Introducing questions.
  • Follow-up questions. 
  • Probing questions.
  • Direct questions.
  • Specifying questions.
  • Indirect questions.
  • Structuring questions.
  • Interpreting questions.

Examples of good potential questions to ask:

  • What's the best advice you've ever received?
  • Who inspires you and why?
  • What's the hardest lesson you have ever learned?
  • Describe a life defining moment you have experienced.
  • What is your biggest accomplishment to date?
  • Do you have a personal motto?

When preparing my own questions, I will consider the above to ensure I get the most out of my interviewees and provide myself with interesting content for my creative report.
