Communication week 4

               I took both of the tests and was fairly surprised with my results. On the communication Anxiety Inventory I scored a 44 which is considered mild. The results stated “You reported that you feel a bit uneasy in some communication situations and somewhat more confident in other context. Communication doesn’t seem to be something that you worry about a great deal.” ( )

               On the verbal aggression scale I scored a 57 which is moderate. The results stated, “You maintain a good balance between respect and consideration for others’ viewpoints, and ability to argue fairly by attacking the facts of a position rather than the person holding that position.

               On the listening styles profile I fell under group 1 which is people oriented. The results stated, “You are empathetic and concerned with the emotions of others. This listening style helps you build relationships but can interfere with proper judgment because you tend to be very trusting to others.”

               When I had my little boy’s father do each test on me his results were very different. On the Communication Anxiety scored me at a 55. On the Verbal Aggression scale he scored me at a 59. On the listening styles profile I feel under group 1 which is the same as I had scored myself.

               When I had my best friend do each test on me her results were also very different than my own as well. On the communication Anxiety scale she scored me at a 60. On the Verbal Aggression scale she scored me at a 55. On the listening styles profile I feel under group 1 which is the same as I had scored myself.
