Asking someone to describe a situation and how they felt is an example of an open question. Closed questions are just the opposite; they only allow the responder to do so in a minimal way. Often, closed que stions can be yes or no questions. Closed questions: A question that gives the interviewee minimal choice in terms of response format Primary questions are those that introduce a new topic or area to explore. The secondary questions are those that allow the participants to gain deeper understanding of the response from a primary question. In an interview setting, you may ask quite a few secondary questions to help build understanding. Hypothetical questions are those that ask you to tell about how you would handle a situation, or describe your response to a situation. These questions can be a bit unnerving for some, but they can provide a great deal of knowledge to the interviewer.
