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.
