Who am I as a Communicator??
My evaluation scores were very similar to the scores that my husband and sister had made about me. I thought it was funny that I had always matched with one other person in each category. Then the other person was only different by a few points.
For example my sister and I both rated me as low in communication anxiety. We were only 2 points from each other! On the other hand, my husband and I scored me as people oriented in the listening category. We were 4 points off from each other!
I kind of expected us to be around the same scores because these two people are closest to me. They know how I think and communicate with people.
I was very surprised the descriptions of the score levels were very accurate. I agreed with each of the descriptions. I guess I am kind of skeptical about the scores on evaluations. At times, I have seen the level descriptions be completely off from the personalities of the people being evaluated.
I learned that there are still many areas in which I can improve to become a better communicator. Also, although some categories may appear to have a negative connotation, there can be positive that comes from it. Having an aggressive personality can be beneficial in some situations. It just depends on the situation and the audience.
