There were some similarities and differences in the evaluation of myself as a communicator. The two people that I had evaluated me were my aunt and my best friend. The only profile that came up in the same category was the one that dealt with listening. The other two we were off by a section. I thought of myself higher than they did. The one that shocked me the most was the verbal aggression profile. I did not think my aggression was visible or that bad.
I also learned that there are some things that I need to work on to make my communication better. I need to work on talking more in public and being confident when I talk. I also need to work on not attacking people about their opinions and attack the what they said.

Hi Chastity,
ReplyDeleteIsn’t it interesting how our self-presentation and self-disclosure speak volume without our realizing it? Doing this evaluation, even I was surprised how others observed details that I rarely even noticed. I think this assignment was definitely a benefit to each one of us in reminding us of the need to improve our communication skills.
Hi Chastity,
ReplyDeleteI too was surprised by my verbal aggression score. I did not feel that I was that aggressive and reactive to the situation. Your goals sound good! Best wishes and good luck!
Good post!
