What kind of question do you usually ask?

I have a hypothesis which states that as people experience life, they mainly ask one of three questions: What? How? and Why?

A 'what' person will watch something, and usually think 'What?'.
A 'how' person will look at something, and normally wonder 'How?'.
A 'why' person will see something, and generally ponder 'Why?'.

If this idea (which assumes a lot) is true, then it can be used in a variety of ways. Once you have figured out what question you ask the most, and which of the three is the most important to ask, you can then see whether you are asking the best question most of the time. For example, in any given situation, is it better to ask 'What' or 'Why?'

Another way you might use the idea is to analyze others, and see what kind of question they ask the most. If you know you are a 'how' person, and you are friends with a 'why' person, then maybe the two of you complement each other. Or, maybe you easily tire of 'why' people, and like being around 'what' people, even though you yourself may be a 'how' person.

There are a few basic flaws with my idea, but over the years I've come to accept it as still holding remnants of truth. The importance of asking one question more often than another is a controversial matter, for sure. However, I think the most important thought that has evolved from this idea is that it doesn't matter so much which type of question you ask the most, but whether you ask it at all.
