Common question pitfalls
The bipolar trap - answered yes/no when you want specific information or an open-ended answer
The open-to-closed switch - asking an open question then switching to closed before the person can answer
The double-barreled inquisition - two or more questions at the same time instead of one
The leading push - an unintentional leading question that suggest how a person ought to respond
The guessing game - question attempts to guess information instead of asking for it
The yes (no) response - when questions have only one obvious answer, yes or no
