It doesn't really sound psychological... it sounds more gimmicky like "if you could be any kind of tree, what would you be?" I mean what do you REALLY learn about a person from those questions?
I can see being curious about why a guy is asking these types of questions. If they are asked out of the blue it could make someone wary. However, in a good
give and take conversation it flows rather smoothly.
Also, in a good conversation people usually substantiate their answers. I usually learn a lot from the stories that are told along with the answer. If a story isn't readily given I just say
"That's interesting, how come?"
PS: Ever see on Saturday Night Live when they used to make fun of the Actors Studio?? He was always SO DEAD ON it was hysterical.
Yeah, that is one of the best skits that they have on SNL!
