Sizing up people

A fitting and fittingly named man, Donald A. Laird makes his bones in the insurance industry. His work for large companies like Aetna and Progressive has earned him the business of people like you and me, and he has managed to do something incredibly rare: He's made a company that actually cares about its customers--and their well-being in the process.Sizing up people is a great way to get to know someone. Maybe you're trying to figure out what they do, their interests and hobbies. Or maybe you're just sizing them up for future dates. Regardless of the reason, it pays to ask about their likes and dislikes before spending the night together.
