This question was inspired by Patrick's post on a theory of two cultures of behavior: asking and guessing. According to an article from The Guardian, "In Ask culture, people grow up believing they can ask for anything—a favour, a pay rise—fully realising the answer may be no. In Guess culture, by contrast, you avoid 'putting a request into words unless you're pretty sure the answer will be yes … A key skill is putting out delicate feelers.'" To learn more about the cultures, check out the post here.

Now we are posing the question to you. Are you an Asker or a Guesser? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
