Emphasizing OP's lack of background when they ask unclear questions?

Question

I don't think this question is unclear at all:

How can someone prove that he knows you more than yourself?

I know about personalities of some people, but I cannot prove it through valid reasons. How do you know if a person really does understand you more than yourself as an individual?

Well, I think I understand your perspective. If OP know a model of personality and ask questions based on that, then their understanding will improve significantly, and not only they can find the correct term to describe what they feel, but also be able to ask clear questions here.

But in OP's perspective, it may not be unclear why their question is unclear:

Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking.

I think in their perspective they are doing exactly what it suggests, to their best. Of course their best is not enough, but telling them to do the thing they have already done will only confuse them. I suggest for this type of question we should encourage OP to read textbooks, or else they will never find the necessary vocabulary to describe their problem.

For those who have known me enough, I think this is the one big problem of this site, beside lacking of user base. But it is easy to fix if we can have perspective-taking and aware of our illusion of transparency. We may also want to use the I-message to talk with them.

Answer 1

I think this particular question is an example of an XY problem. The OP is asking "how can someone prove (they know someone more than that person knows themself)?".

They haven't in any way established that it makes sense to do so, they haven't set up a context for this interaction to take place, they haven't defined what it means to "know" someone, etc.

Otherwise, the question is unclear and should be closed as such.

Answer 2

Here are some canned comments I would use in each case:

• Unclear question:

  Welcome to the site! Unfortunately while it is possible that you may see your question as objective and answerable, it still contains too much assumptions that only you can understand, and thus is still unclear for us. I suggest you to start with an introductory textbook about ____________________. Many of them are very easy to understand and fascinating. I'm sure you will gain more insight just after reading a few pages.

• Diagnostic question:

If you can't book one now, I suggest you to start with an introductory book about _______________. Many of them are very easy to understand and fascinating. I'm sure you will gain more insight just after reading a few pages. See more: Are question about identifying (potential) disorder based on behaviour on topic?.
