During week four, we were asked to answer three assessments as well as having others perform the same assessments about us. The assessments were; Communication Anxiety Inventory, Verbal Aggressiveness Scale, and Listening Styles Profile. From taking these assessments, I learned a lot about myself and how I communicate and listen which is something we cannot judge on a normal basis.
My communication Anxiety shows that i'm in the middle of feeling concerned about some communication situations but not all of them. Verbal Aggressiveness showed that I can be argumentative and at times I can attack another person's character. The Listening Profile showed that I am very concerned about other's feelings and at times it can work against me because I put too much trust in others.
For the most part my other evaluators hit right on with the verbal and listening styles profile, and slightly off for the communication. They said they noticed me as uneasy in some communication situations but definitely not in all. I definitely agree with the Listening Styles Profile. I can tend to be very argumentative if I feel that my character or knowledge is being challenged. I know in the long run that it needs to be turned down a bit, but I just can't allow people to misrepresent me especially if I am present at a meeting.
