I hadn’t considered that there is a variety of different types and styles of interviews, I had always thought of interviews as a way of gathering information from a person on a subject or about their goals and aspirations. A singular process which was meant to bring new hires aboard the company, but rather it is better to categorize interviews into the seven different classes. Some of these classes may overlap and share some similarities but they are each unique in their own respective ways. Persuasive interviews are very new to me, it seems rather cruel to influence interviewees by asking them questions about their beliefs and desires. The example the book gave was about the actions of politicians. If there was a candidate who promoted animal cruelty would you still vote for them? To plant doubt in the interviewees about their beliefs is a way to change their perspectives and provoke a different response.
