Sometimes we talk to people who don't always say what they think. They are guided only by their own benefit or by the interests of other people. Others do not mean you, you are just part of their plan. In order to understand what a person wants from you, a systematic analysis of a person, both in general and in particular, is necessary.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, don't listen to this person. Do not listen to what he is telling you now, ask questions and listen only to the answers to them. Listening to what he says in a monologue, you run the risk of falling into a trap of psychological influence, in which he himself will lead you from the beginning to the result that he needs.
Step 2
Analyze all the information you have about this person. Identify his needs, goals and objectives. Feel free to ask him directly if you do not have this information available. Remember that only information will help you understand what exactly he wants to get from you.
Step 3
Monitor his condition as you ask questions. If he answers them normally and does not seek to leave them, then he is frank with you. If he reacts irritably to your questions and seeks to quickly return to his point of view - know that he seeks personal benefit with your help.
Step 4
Listen to the end of his monologue. It doesn't matter what the person said before - the main thing is what he says, he will say at the end, because in his understanding this is a logical conclusion. Analyze his needs for the here and now, if you are still confused, ask him directly. Do not fall for his logic, in the end, you yourself, without his coordination, think of the final conclusion.
