What is the one thing that surprised you the most? What suprised me this week with doing this evaluation is how similar my self eval and the eval summary of mine that two of my co-workers had completed. On the verbal aggressiveness scale my score is a 68 and my co-workers is a 60, Communication Anxiety Inventory (my score) 49 and co-workers (score 42), Listening Styles Profile (my score) 34 and co-workers score is also a 34. What also that was intereseting is that the evaluations that my co-workers had completed had the same numbers in each section and was completed on two different days.
What other insights about communication did you gain this week? What I found in in the the different groups and the description box, some of what is discribed seems to be accurate. What I have also learned is how my co-workers see me, when it comes to communication. A positive thing about the survey is that the level's and the description was not negative, but actually positive. I always felt that my communication skills were effective, but that is just me being bias. lol After reading the different description of my co-workers survey it shows that my communication as others may see it is okay. There are things that I can approve and doing this assignment may have given me a better understanding of who I am as a communicator.
I love that you realized that you can keep learning about communication by using the survey. I have learned that communication can look different for each person and I need to adjust my own communication needs to fit theirs. I have noticed that older generations sometimes have a harder time adjusting to new styles of teaching children. Breaking the generational cycle can be difficult, but seeing positive communication is a great start.
