Are You a Good Listener?

Listen to them, even if you aren't all that interested in what they have to say

Try to end the conversation quickly

Pretend to listen to them while you're really spacing out

Nod, smile, and encourage them to continue

Mostly listen, but interject a good bit when you have something to say

Engage them, telling them your opinion as they talk

Withhold judgment until they are finished

Argue with them about it

Leave so that they are not able to finish

Remember all the important details

Remember the general conversation, but maybe not all the details

Remember very little, except what you said

They have your full attention

You might check your cellphone occasionally

You are easily distracted

If someone is trying to explain something to you and they're not doing a good job, you:

Say that you don't quite understand, and ask a couple questions

Jump in and explain it back to them, to see if you are right

Just listen and hope that you'll figure it out

Not speaking up enough

Changing the subject

Interrupting too much
