This weeks assignment was very interesting and insightful. I had fun with the assignment because I like to see what others think. Believe it or not but all three of us evaluated me the same. We had slightly different scores, but I fell in the same category for all three tests. I was most surprised with the results from the Communication Anxiety Inventory. Myself and my two evaluators all scored in the moderate level. This surprised me because I am petrified to speak in front of others. i do better in a small group but the thought of speaking to a large group frightens me. I have always been very shy and as I have gotten older I am slowly but surly coming out of it.
One insight that I gained this week is that I am a caring and empathetic listener. I am a person who is always thinking of others and the Listening Styles Profile showed it because it says I am people orientated. This can help me on the professional level because in the early childhood field that is what a child and his/her family needs, someone who cares. Another insight from this week is how we are all different. After looking at the results and reading through all the results, I realized that everybody learns, listens and talks differently. we all process and deal with things differently and it is important to remember these things when dealing with young children and their families.
