Quite a fascinating topic this week with even more interesting results. Personally when it comes to these aptitude kind of tests I try to relax and focus on the questions and answer as honestly as I can. This week I gave the the tests to my co-worker and to my mother, my co-worker has known me for the past year and my mother, well all my life. After I completed the questionnaire I was a little nervous as to the type of communicator they perceived me as.
How would I be perceived? I awaited the results with baited breath.
My result as in my communication anxiety test from both individuals were mild and from myself moderate. Although I have performed in front of larger audiences from the outsider I may seem to be together but my own feelings are sometimes the opposite.
My results for my verbal aggressiveness tests from myself and both individuals rated me as 'low'. I do not think of myself as overly aggressive, I like to think of how to address a situation before reacting to it.
Two insights I have gathered this week:
- I can become a better communicator by being aware of my actions.
- I can develop my self-concept when I see how I react to situations and watch how others react to me.
How would I be perceived? I awaited the results with baited breath.
Hello Kalisha,
ReplyDeleteI like the way in which you were quite frank in expressing yourself. As a matter of fact, it is mentioned by others that great communicators are viewed as successful individuals, but I know that there are people who are not that excellent in communicating, and they are very successful in their career. However, one has to learn to be assertive when comes to communication, that will put power and confidence in his or her words.

How others perceive us and how we perceive ourselves is sometimes different. Others may view us in a higher light then we view ourselves. In my experience, my coworker viewed me as the type of person who doesn't get anxious when speaking to a small group and that is the opposite of me. I guess when it comes to certain situation we my communicate more effective than others.
