Evaluating a person

While listening to the Hubermann Lab podcast with guest Tim Ferriss, the following quote was mentioned:

"Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers."

-Voltaire

Please edit "man/his" to "person/their."

Or don't.

***

Funny thing: I looked up the quote. It turns out that, according to my brief research, that quote is wrongly attributed to Voltaire and isn't quite correctly stated:

"It is easier to judge the mind of a man by his questions rather than his answers."

-Pierre-Marc-Gaston de Levis (Wikipedia page)
