text: Personality is a crucial aspect when asking for the advice of multiple people. This is good because it helps you compare the opinions of people who think differently. If you ask for the opinion of someone who is always enthusiastic and a positive thinker, but doesn't really sit down and think about things before they do it, chances are they'll give you different advice than someone who is quiet and pessimistic, but always thinks things out thoroughly and incorporates every outcome before they make a decision. Along with that, you may get different advice from someone you just met, compared to someone you've known for a few years. Or getting an opinion from someone who doesn't like you that much, compared to someone who absolutely adores you. Experience is also extremely beneficial when asking for advice. For example, if you got into an argument with a friend, and you're contemplating apologizing, you may get a different response from someone who argued with their friend and apologized, than someone who was apologized to. Both of these responses would be good to consider because they each have experience, just in different ways. Which makes you more informed when it comes to making a final verdict for yourself.
