2) Do you

take a conversation on a deep dive easily

get stuck and can’t move past the small talks

When engaging in small talks, people likely have mentioned a few topics in which they find interesting interested in, but you might not have spotted them and moved on to asking another small talk question. When that happens, you missed the opportunity to dive into a deeper topic.

Which module can help you?

Develop stronger listening skills (Principle 4: read people's minds)

3) Which one are you?

Easily open up to people

Guarded and don't talk a lot about yourself

If the other person opens up to you and shares more about themselves, at some point, they want to know who they are talking to and sharing information with. When you share information about yourself, they will come to trust you more. If you guard your information, they will come to either think of you as a robot with no substance or they will feel doubtful about the interaction because it feels one-sided.

Which module can help you?

Learn to share more about yourself and build a dynamic conversation (Principle 2: Do what charismatic people do)

4) Do you oftentimes

quick to come up with an engaging response

draw blanks and run out of things to say

There’re two potential challenges with running out of things to say:

The other person feels like you’re not interested in what they say (even though you are). Think about it, if you talk about something enthusiastically, and the other person gives you no response when you finish talking, you will assume they aren't interested and you won’t share more to bore them.
The other person feels like it’s not fun to chat with you

Which modules can help you?

Listen first before responding (Principle 4: Read people's minds)
Respond based on what the person shared (Principle 5: Create a connection)

5) In a conversation, what do people typically do once you finish talking

they give short responses

they talk a lot and give engaging responses

When people respond with short and dry answers, it shows that they’re either not yet comfortable around you or you missed the opportunity to connect with them earlier

Which modules can help you?

To help them feel comfortable around you, share more about yourself first (Principle 2: Do what charismatic people do)
To avoid missing the opportunity to connect with people, listen for the hidden messages (Principle 4: read people's minds)
