communication test

These tests have opened my eye to how people around me perceive me. I was somewhat shocked by some of the results. The verbal aggressiveness test score was a little shocking, I did not expect to score that high. My score was 62 which is moderate. I would like to see that score be a little lower. According to the test I maintain a good balance between respect and consideration for others viewpoint.  I do agree that I try to argue fairly by simply pointing out facts of a position rather than the person holding that position. According to my brother’s test scores I fall under significant, scoring a 77. This is not surprising to me because he always feels that I am being mean to him. I feel that I am stern with him; he is at an age where he feels that most of the people around him are always nagging. I cannot agree with the test scores because it says that people that fall under significant often cross the line from “argumentativeness”, which attacks a person’s position or statements, and verbal aggression, which involves personal attacks and can be hurtful to the listener.

communicating with different groups

I do find myself communicating differently with other cultures. I am very open and try to be mindful of both my verbal and non verbal communication. i am more willing to accommodate them with things in there language. I believe I do this because they have a special place in my heart. I know it has to be somewhat scary and upsetting to have people around you who cant understand you or even try to help you.

Bubble Guppies

The show I chose to watch is called Bubble guppies, which come on Nick Jr. This was my first time seeing the show. I wanted to watch it because some of my students like the show. The show starts with several mermaids (both male and female) singing; I’m guessing the theme song which starts the show. They all seem very happy. After the introduction three goldfish come up and ducks on a roll appears on the screen. The fish seems happy as they swim to one of the boy mermaids.  I would compare the mermaid and fish to that of Dora and boots or Steve and blues clue. The fish and the boy talk, the fish depart and the boy swims over to the snail band. As the band is marching a duck steps in the way and the band has to stop and go the other way. The boy gets the duck to come and stand by him as the band leaves. The fish come back and the boy along with the fish go to what I am guessing is school with the other mermaids. You can see that everyone speaks to each other when they arrive. Their teacher is a big goldfish who seems happy to be there. The cartoon seems to be good. Everyone seemed happy throughout the show. They also solved problems in a nice manner.

Effective Communicator

My Godfather, Tyrone is one of the best communicator I know. He has taught me a thing or two about communicating effectively. He has mastered this gift while running his business. he will have you repeat things back to him to make sure you have to correct information. when he has clients he calls about an hour prior to confirm their appointment. if he doesn't understanding something you are saying he is not afraid to ask to to repeat it. These are just a few things he does to make communicating with him easy.
