CXL Free Beginner

This is a reference document more than a read: thirty concrete before and after examples of leading questions rewritten into neutral ones, spanning several kinds of bias beyond just hypotheticals. Keep it open next to your interview script and check each question against the list before your next call.

• Leading questions come in more forms than hypotheticals, including loaded words and assumed premises
• A neutral rewrite is usually only a word or two different from the leading version
• Checking your own script against thirty examples catches mistakes you would miss alone
