Evaluating My Own
Communication Styles
The
one thing that surprised me the most in evaluating myself, is that in Communicating Anxiety Inventory, is
that I showed a very high score. That revealed that I have very high anxiety
when communicating which will present problem for me when I attempt to
influence others. I do not agree with that because I work with families not to
influence them but to help them to overcome obstacles in their pathway to
success.
The
two that I want to share with my colleagues are my verbal and listening skills.
My
Verbal Aggressiveness Inventory
showed that I will never engage in personal attacks, even when wanting to
influence others to my point of view. Working in the early childhood field you
have to be respectful to others and their feeling. In my professional and
personal life I try to maintain balance between respect and consideration for
others thoughts, and to argue fairly by attaching the facts of a position other
than the person holding that position.
The
Listening Style Profile showed
me that I am people-oriented, where I am very concerned with people emotions;
action-oriented that I am business like and prefer to be clear to the point;
content-oriented I need to have all information before making a decision.
This
was a very good learning experience for me because I learned some things that
are true and some that I do not agree with. And the two people that evaluated me came very
close to my own evaluation.
