Frequently asked questions
Qvest flips conventional questioning logic upside down, which often leads to questions...
Questions
Question
How much time should I expect to spend as a participant in a Qvest?
Answer
You decide how much time you spend asking and answering questions. Most people spend less than 15 mins in total during a Qvest. While the Qvest runs, you decide when to ask and answer.
Question
Why do I need to ask questions?
Answer
Because it is most important what you want to know about the Qvest topic.
Question
Can you give me an example of a question I could ask?
Answer
No. Questions are contagious, and it’s YOUR and your co-participants’ questions that matter in a Qvest.
Question
Why do I have to choose a recipient for my question?
Answer
Because your question deserves to be answered by the person you think is most suited to answer.
Question
Why can’t I ask more than one start question?
Answer
Because that’s all it takes to get the Qvest rolling - and when you know that it may be the only question you get to ask, you make sure to ask what is most important to you at the moment.
Question
Why can I only send my question to one person?
Answer
Because there has to be one person who has responsibility for answering your question.
Question
Why am I only allowed to ask more questions if someone asks me a question?
Answer
Because a Qvest is also a mapping of the questioning dynamic in a group. Everyone has an equal starting point (1 question per participant) and then it is up to the group to distribute the questions and answers. When the Qvest is over, you get a network map of this dynamic.
Question
Do I need to respond to the questions I get?
Answer
Yes. One of your co-participants in the Qvest has chosen you as the recipient of their question - and they won’t receive an answer to their question unless you answer them.
Question
Why haven’t I received a question?
Answer
In a Qvest everybody contributes with their start question. It is up to You and your co-participants to choose the recipient of your questions, and that is why some people receive a number of questions while others don’t receive any.
Question
Why do I need to ask a new question every time I have answered one?
Answer
Because that’s how you keep the Qvest rolling - and have an impact on the collected body of knowledge.
Question
Why can’t the recipient of the question see that I am the one asking?
Answer
Because you should be able to address what’s most important to you without worrying about how it will be received.
Question
Can I answer a question without letting the questioner know who I am?
Answer
No, your answer is automatically sent to the questioner, who picked you as the recipient, and therefore knows that you are answering. The other participants won’t see your answer until the Qvest ends - and they won’t know it came from you, unless you write it in the answer-box. Please note that the person who started the Qvest can see who asked which questions, while everyone else can see just the question and answer content.
Question
