Do you mirror and add personality traits to be able to converse "normally"?

So mirroring someone doesn't necessarily means you can understand someone, because the way you perceive said action will probably be viewed differently because of diffent value/experience.

But i do agree that it can be use to create a common grounds. But to understand someone, you need to know their foundation.

I need to read some of Richard Feynman's book, people do talk highly of him.

I agree but I understand them from my own perspective and that is the only way I'll understand anyone. More or less.
