“What do you mean by ____?” Is asked too infrequently.
@garyackerman I'm not sure what you are saying / inferring - why is it too infrequent?
If you agree language as ambiguous (often personal AND multi-meaning words / contexts and used differently) then actually more often this would be a useful 'tool' to ask and balance much of that ambiguity.
There doesn't seem another accurate way other than assume the words and combinations people are using,..
While many simple things are seeminly not needed or as important (like talking about objects)... in the end it actually all might be when talking about people, projects and feelings !
I'd like a response to this comment.
Thanks.
@garyackerman It's quite revealing when interviewers push interviewees to explain what they mean by ____
