Oftentimes a person’s greatest strength is also their greatest weakness; and mine is that I ask too many questions. If you’re the same kind of person, and you view it mostly as a strength, then you may believe that asking questions is usually innocuous, and oftentimes a good idea. In many cases, it can be; but it’s not always obvious when you shouldn’t ask questions, or which opportunities you may be losing out on by way of asking too many questions. A type of person who asks a lot of questions can also be called an “investigator;” and there’s a lot of obvious reasons that the average person doesn’t want someone around who tends to ‘investigate.’
