In response to Becky's doubting of a characteristic (s) due to a lack of experience: I feel that the view of not truly knowing someone due to the simple fact of not meeting them is legitimate, but a step further than that bring the information giver into question. What details of said "non-existent" person are being presented to you and how well do you know the person giving them to you? I think knowing people and their particular characteristics and habits and emotions is a step by step process that takes years and cannot be understood through he said she said. By understanding the one talking about another person you should already comprehend that due to an inclination to gossip about others, that particular information may not be so reliable. So in order to actually know what this mystery person is or does you must physically spend extensive amounts of time with he/she otherwise an acceptable evaluation of who a person actually is would not be so.
My question is what techniques can people employ to truly understand people one on one? For example if I am meeting a new friend or person, what can I do to ensure this person is being honest?
