(noun)
A query that suggests the answer or contains the information the examiner is looking for.
Examples of leading question in the following topics:
-
Interview Conduct
- Listen to your interviewee, ask questions, respect boundaries, avoid leading questions, and don't interrupt to ensure a successful interview.
- The interviewer is usually a professional or paid researcher, sometimes trained, who poses questions to the interviewee, in an alternating series of usually brief questions and answers.They are a standard part of qualitative research, in contrast to focus groups in which an interviewer questions a group of people at the same time.
- While an interviewer generally enters each interview with a predetermined, standardized set of questions, it is important that they also ask follow-up questions throughout the process.
- Leading questions are questions that suggest or imply a particular answer.
- It is instead preferable that interviewers ask open-ended questions.
-
Solicit Information
- Open-ended questions.
- Questions that ask who, what, where, when, why, and how are generally good open-ended questions.
- Closed questions.
- Avoid leading questions.
- A leading question is one that virtually guarantees that the interviewee will reply with a desired answer.
-
Step 2: Researching
- It's useful to begin with a few questions related to your topic.
- And as I click, I can begin to follow "clues" to what leading thinkers or researchers (depending on my topic) have concluded.
- Putting that question into a search engine yields many articles, some very recent.
- You have a question, you find information that informs you, and you make your question more specific.
- You keep at it (a more specific question, finding a variety of well-thought-out answers to the question, which lead to a still-more-specific question) until you feel confident creating a statement you can stand behind.

Q&A Considerations in Non-Academic Environments
- A speaker cannot predict every question, but he or she can identify likely questions and prepare responses in advance.
- Sometimes, basic questions are actually the hardest questions to answer.
- Begin by explaining the question in layman's terms.
- To take a moment to think about a question, stall with a phrase like, "That's an interesting question. " Be careful with this tactic, though—if the speaker praises one question too much, the other audience members may feel insulted if he or she does not give their questions equal praise.
- There is no such thing as a bad question.
-
Conducting a Q&A Session
- Make sure you understand the question.
- Look at the questioner as you answer the question, but still present the answer to the whole audience.
- If the questioner starts to give a counter speech, politely interrupt and ask for his or her question.
- You may also arrange an "open" question period prior to the speech in order to solicit relevant questions.
- This audience member leads the Q&A session with a microphone in hand.
-
Constructing Public Opinion Surveys
- Usually, a survey consists of a number of questions the respondent answers in a set format.
- A distinction is made between open-ended and closed-ended questions.
- An open-ended question asks the respondent to formulate his or her own answer, while closed-ended questions have the respondent choose an answer from a given number of options.
- The four types of response scales for closed-ended questions are:
- Question design: Survey question answer-choices could lead to vague data sets because, at times, they are relative only to a personal abstract notion concerning "strength of choice".

Identifying Your Heavy Hitters in Technology
- They also frequently fail to answer questions as promptly and courteously as they could.
- Is there a resource you can turn to whenever you have a question concerning hardware and software—even a question about small things like italicizing text or setting different kinds of tabs in a document?
- Do the people who communicate with you about technology make you feel important and respected when you ask them questions?
- The "Suzies" in most large businesses aren't paid to answer questions about software and hardware.
- Often, acute resource gaps of this sort lead to unhappiness, distress, and diminished productivity..

Benefits of I-Search
- Students' own choices lead the research within the context of the curriculum content, which helps increase motivation as indicated by the Six C's of motivation.
- Students choose a topic and a question to answer that have personal meaning to them, thereby enhancing their desire to complete a thorough search for answers to their questions.
- This allows other members of the learning community to follow the writers' thought processes as their search leads them along the path of discovery.

Organizing Your Research Plan
- Then, in step three, you would come up with a research question.

- Our example would lead us to possibly look at newspapers or magazines printed in the late 18th or early 19th century.
- It is likely that someone has researched your topic before, and even possibly a question similar to yours.
