My test revealed that, according to me, I have low anxiety when talking with others and little to no anxiety anticipating those encounters. I chose my husband and a colleague to evaluate me as well. Each result showed that they both believe me to be in the Low category, also. I have always loved to talk with others, whether a stranger or long time friend. I enjoy large groups of people but also thrive for a good one on one conversation. Public speaking is especially exciting to me, as long as I am educated and passionate about the topic.
I found myself to be moderately verbally aggressive, as well did my husband. I work hard to always remain respectful, but am not afraid of a hearty debate. I don't avoid conflict, but truly believe there are healthy manners in which to engage in it. My husband seems to be well aware of who I am, however my co worker found me to be in the Low range. I am uncertain if it is because she sees me in a more gentler fashion, or if she wanted to be more gentle herself in evaluation. I rarely get mad, but rather I engage in passionate conversations.
I was placed in Group 1, a people oriented style of listening, after all 3 evaluations. I am very people focused and enjoy listening to others, as well as encouraging them. However, I disagree that I am too trusting of others. I allow others to be who they are, but I have a keen ability to see through many veils.
I am quite surprised that all of the results turned out to be so similar. I believe it is because I try to be myself in all circumstances. It is rare that someone finds me to be complicated.
My husband found me to be much more verbally aggressive than my colleague. This was extremely interesting and telling.
