Narrowing the scope

This phenomenon occurs when someone attempts to eliminate options. A person would do this because it’s helpful for trying to make a guess or help make a critical decision.

Jason gives a riddle to Robert that has 8 possible correct answers. Robert receives a hint from Jason. From this hint, Robert can now safely eliminate 4 options out of the 8. Therefore, Robert is narrowing the scope

narrow minded

Intolerant of another's views. This is a mentality that is often associated with cliques and coteries. A narrow-minded person will even accuse someone of being "stupid" or ((name some other bad trait here, even "narrow-minded" itself!)) the other person who expresses a viewpoint or reason for believing otherwise than the narrow-minded one's views. Or, in some cases, a narrow-minded person might even go to the extreme of primate-like behavior, such as throwing food or insults at the other person, because the narrow-minded one doesn't have a cohesive argument to counteract what the other had said in the discussion or debate.

Interesting thing: people who accuse others of being narrow-minded are often quite narrow-minded themselves.

Aura hurled food, insults, and other sorts of shit at Anne because the two women didn't agree. (Aura did that because she can't stand anyone who wouldn't believe the same thing as she does, or refuses to flatter her.) Aura's very narrow minded.

When they say "Great minds" do they mean great as in intelligent or great as in significant? Is this quote about how smart someone is or simply about the their significance in life/the world? If you think it means neither of these things then let me know what you think the quote truly means.

Great Minds Discuss Ideas; Average Minds Discuss Events; Small Minds Discuss People

“Men and women range themselves into three classes or orders of intelligence; you can tell the lowest class by their habit of always talking about persons; the next by the fact that their habit is always to converse about things; the highest by their preference for the discussion of ideas.”

narrow it down

reduce the number of possibilities or options

Somebody bombed the school, too many terrorist groups operate in this area, though. But we are trying to narrow it down so we can go after the perps.
