Everyone has their own, individual set of circumstances that they take for granted. Often, they aren’t even aware of them. When the panel interview starts, some participants think that they’re being pressed about trivial matters. Yet participants on the panel also have matters they've left unexamined — things they consider a given — and they often respond spontaneously to a query by saying that everyone does something like this, thinks like this, reacts like this. That’s what makes panel interviews wonderful: You discover not only the things you take for granted but also the completely different things that others take for granted. And then you discover that what strikes you as normal — the group of beliefs you consider to be self-evident, for example — isn’t normal at all for most other people. It may come as a shock, but it turns out that humans all assume quite different realities. This realization makes you aware of what it takes to build bridges to other people. The effect of these panel interviews on most participants is that they make a greater and more conscious effort to understand others and become attuned to them.
