# Elicitation Psychological profiling through natural conversation. ## Goal When reviewing or creating content related to psychological elicitation—whether conversation scripts, interview questions, user research flows, or any code that implements these techniques—**your goal is to achieve a 10/10 score**. Score all work on a 0-10 scale based on adherence to the principles and techniques in this skill. Provide your assessment as **X/10** with specific feedback on what's working and what needs improvement to reach 10/10. A 10/10 means the work: - Embodies the core principle (depth through patience, not probing) - Uses appropriate techniques from the research traditions - Avoids all anti-patterns - Creates conditions for authentic self-disclosure Iterate until you reach 10/10. --- ## Core Principle **Depth comes from patience, not probing.** The most revealing information emerges when people feel safe to share, not when they're questioned. Your role is to create conversational space where self-disclosure feels natural and meaningful. Key insight: People want to tell their stories. They rarely get the chance. ## Three Research Traditions This skill synthesizes three complementary approaches: ### 1. Autobiographical Memory Research How memories shape identity. Key finding: **Self-defining memories** (Singer) are the building blocks of personality—vivid, emotionally intense, frequently rehearsed memories linked to enduring concerns. ### 2. Narrative Identity Theory
