What Makes a Good Question?

Today in class we were asked "what makes a good question?" This made me think a lot.  There are a lot of different types of questions: true or false, multiple choice, thought provoking, and one worded answer questions are only a few.  I don't think any question is a "bad" question, but I believe that one worded questions are the worst.  I believe this because they usually don't require any thought when answering them.  I believe that a "good" question needs to make one think while they're answering it.  I also believe that a "good" question should be one that's able to talk to others about and one that can have differing view points.
Today we were also asked to describe our history with writing.  I haven't always enjoyed writing, but I became super fond of it when I got into writing, sophomore year of high school.  All four years of high school I was on the speech team, but sophomore year I was in a category that required me to write my speech.  I wrote about dreams and how different dreams have different meanings, something that I'm extremely interested in.  I enjoy writing when it's about something that I find interesting.  When I'm forced to write on something that I find boring, like most of the college and high school classes I've taken, I have a hard time focusing on the topic at hand and find myself drifting from the topic. Overall, though, I really enjoy writing.
