Questions to Include Quiet People:
To draw a quiet person into a conversation you need to show some sensitivity;
they may not like much attention drawn to them they may not, however, speak,
unless you address them directly by name, so that is a useful technique. Make the question an easy one to answer, such as 'You saw that movie too, didn't you?
What did you think of it?'
Don't put people under pressure to answer but if you use an appropriate question and leave a pause for them to answer, more often than not, they'll answer. Good questions follow on from the topic being discussed and allow a person to give a simple answer based on their personal opinion, rather than requiring them to possess any particular knowledge.
