Describe how your social style affects your listening skills and how you can improve as a listener ...

Open the “Identifying Social Style” inventory (Word document) by
clicking here (check attachment). Answer each question as to whether
you feel each item describes you, using the scale of 1 for Strongly
Disagree to 5 for Strongly Agree. On the second page of the form, use
the two charts to tally your scores. For example, if you marked a
question as 2 – Disagree, then write two points for that question in
the appropriate chart. The first chart determines your assertiveness
score and the second chart determines your responsiveness score.
Scores above 34 indicate high assertiveness or responsiveness. Scores
between 26 and 34 indicated moderate assertiveness. Scores below 26
indicate low assertiveness or responsiveness.
Using your scores as a jumping off point for the essay, begin your
essay by describing different ways of responding to others, including
what steps you would need to style flex.
Share your scores with a family member or friend. Evaluate his or her
perceptions in your essay. How did he or she consider the scores
accurate or not accurate? What perceptions or suggestions did he or
she have about your social style?
Describe how your social style affects your listening skills and how
you can improve as a listener. Describe how style flexing can assist
with communication effectiveness.

Your essay should be a minimum of three pages, not counting the title
or reference pages. Remember to use APA style with citations and
references from the textbook and other sources.
