Experiment 6: Post-experiment survey time!
 |
Hello fellow experimenters!
It’s the end of the Ask Better Questions experiment, which means it’s survey time. Please complete the post-survey by clicking here. It will only take you a couple of minutes and will allow me to report back on how effective this technique was for us all.
I’d also love to hear any anecdotal feedback you have too. Post your comments below or email me at amantha@inventium.com.au
I’ll be reporting back on the results and reflections in a few days time.
And the next experiment will kick off shortly.
Cheers
Amantha

This little experiment has had a really big impact, but not in the way I thought it would... The first few attempts at better questions were from some standards I had written down, and I used a couple of them on multiple occasions. The responses were novel, and a little awkward occasionally, but then something unexpected happened. When I went to ask one of my pre-prepared questions, my 'brain' slapped me and told my 'heart' to ask a question I really wanted to know...off the cuff and something that I was genuinely interested in about that person. The response was one of my highlights of this process to date...and has jolted me into a realisation that people want to tell their real story. Amantha, this has changed my game most definitely for the 'better'
Okay, so I have been FAR FROM perfect on this one, however... (1) having prompt questions was awesome (thank you, I'll be keeping these!), and (2) just thinking about asking better quality Qs (even if I didn't for some reason), made me actually listen *better* to the standard "How are you?" question.
