Ask yourself why I make post like this knowing ahead of time how you react, and no I don't enjoy negative attention.

I get to learn about you.

When talking to people in person or not, I generally attempt to incite an emotional response by talking about contriversial topics which are generally polarizing, in a non-agressive manor. Reason being they generally reveal their true selves immediately, if you learn to use this technique within the first 10 minutes of talking to them you will have them figured out from top to bottom at about 75% accuracy. If people are more guarded it can take more proding and ultimately take longer.

Does not matter how they respond to you but the more emotion you can get out of them the more you will learn. Without getting any real details you can figure out most everything about them in a few minutes, like how their mind works, what motivates them, what they are afraid of.

It allows you to get to the root right away without them having any idea what you are doing.
