What Makes a Good Short-Reading Question
- Open, not yes/no — “What do I need to know about…” gives the reader room.
- One topic — a single relationship, job or decision.
- About you — focus on your choices rather than someone else's mind.
- Time-bound — “in the next three months” keeps it concrete.

Questions to Avoid in a Short Reading
- “Tell me everything about my future.” Too broad for 10 minutes.
- “Will he call me tomorrow?” Very narrow and outside your control.
- “Am I going to be rich?” Vague and hard to read meaningfully.
- Medical or legal questions — see a professional.
