The 10 Questions are at the very heart of Big Think. Our goal is to get at something deeper, to draw out a guest’s personality and interests, to get them thinking beyond the usual fare of near-sighted punditry we’ve become used to. With that in mind, The 10 Questions were designed to be the backbone of every Big Think interview. They are only a starting point, however. In answering The 10 Questions, you can be specific or general, or go on as many interesting tangents as you like. More importantly, the questions are a way to organize and compare how people of vastly different backgrounds respond to the same prompt. How, for example, does your take on Washington politics differ from those of Sir Richard Branson and Sen. Arlen Specter? It’s not only about seeing how your ideas stack up against others, however; it’s also about making better sense of what you think.
