Untapped depths?

I seem to glean nuggets of self-insight during job interviews. Strangely for me, I don't try to anticipate all of the questions and plan stunning answers. Rather, I formulate my opinion on the job and how well-suited I am, my views on the organization, and possible weaknesses to support. My interviews are therefore generally quite pleasant; rarely does the actual interview cause stress. The point of this explication is to relate one of the most interesting questions I have yet received: do you have a writing style? I don't remember my exact answer, but I believe I related that I tailor my output to my audience while tending to be a bit formal. The question was original, and I wished I had a better answer. (I still lack an adequate one.) The follow-up question was what type of writing I liked best, and immediately I answered correspondence. It was insightful, as I had never previously pondered the question.

It's interesting how questions can inspire truths at which it is hard for me to arrive solely through self-analyzing. It probably has to do with how God designed me with the need to verbalize. Truths sink in when I say them to someone else. Even repeating them aloud to myself helps. Interesting the way people's minds work. In a way it's good to know I can still surprise myself, though I think I attribute it to untapped depths rather than lack of self-discernment. Oh, silly me. :)
