Sometimes it is simply necessary to extract information from a person. I don't want to force you, otherwise you can seem rude and intrusive, but he does not answer directly. However, it is difficult to call an impossible mission an attempt to find out a couple of useful words from the interlocutor. In terms of conducting a conversation, there are five types of people. Knowing their weak points, you can easily get the information you need.
Instructions
Step 1
Teachers. They think that their experience and knowledge is their most valuable treasure. Most often they are knowledge workers. As you talk to them, take on the role of a learner. Ask questions, but don't interrupt. Show interest in what they are talking about, but don't try to sound smarter than them. This type of interlocutor is more willing to open up when he feels his superiority in terms of knowledge.
Step 2
Pontears. They are happy to use foreign language and rare words and terms, although inexperienced young people are hiding behind all these delights. This type of interlocutor is better to ask about what a particular word means. They usually do not answer directly, but begin to tell stories from life. Here it is worth taking the helm in your own hands and taking the conversation in the direction you want.
Step 3
Complainers. They are found everywhere. They need to complain about everything that happens around them. You just need to endure this type of interlocutor. Listen to them and slowly lead them to the topic of interest. Be sure to show at the end that you heard everything they complained about.
Step 4
Clever guys. They are a walking Wikipedia. These guys want to be smarter than everyone, including you, and they try to prove this in frequent discussions. With this type of interlocutor, it is better to be the first to provoke an argument, and on the topic that you need. Make a deliberately false assumption, and then just wait for the necessary information to appear in the stream of information that has poured on you.
Step 5
Nerves. More than anything, they are afraid of getting into trouble. They also prefer not to draw attention to themselves. You should speak calmly and politely with this type of interlocutor, otherwise you will scare them away. When communicating with him, create the feeling that you are not at all surprised by their behavior. Give them support, be on an equal footing with them in knowledge (even if you don’t know something, just say “Of course!” Or “Of course!”). When they realize that you are no better and no worse than them, they will begin to open up.
