Putting things in buckets

Here is a link below (I believe the credit will go with it) that caused me to reflect upon the task that I do quite often – interviewing.
Why? Because when I interview, I don’t begin by soliciting the comments that I want to hear. I begin by finding out what the subject matter expert wants to say. I don’t ‘categorize’ ahead of time. I ‘listen’. What a concept.
Here is the article about categorizations on the web.
