After going over each of the different characteristics of communication, I was surprise to see the similarities each one had in regards to my perception and that of two other people I I questioned. One was my husband which I have been married for more than 20 years and one of my co-workers which I have been working for a little over a year. There was very little difference between their scores and mine. For my Communication Anxiety Inventory my score was of 28, my husband of 25 and my co-worker of 26. For my Verbal Aggressive Scale I scored 54, my husband 55 and my co-worker 50 and for the listening Style Profile we all agreed that I'm in group one which is the People Oriented. What I was able to observe with these activity that I actually know a lot about myself, and how I communicate with others. That people around me share the same perception about myself and how they enjoy the time we spend together, which for me is very important. I try my best to be a good communicator, no only with my family but with my colleagues, children and families I work with. For me there is no greater reward then hearing somebody say thanks for listening, sometimes that is all we need somebody that can actually listen for a minute.

Who Am I as a Communnicator?

Isabel, It sounds like you must know yourself pretty well. My scores were a bit different but not vastly. Often times we see ourselves differently than others do.
