Communication Evaluation


What is the one thing that surprised you the most? Why? 
One thing that surprised me the most was that between all three tests there was only one section where the score was different from mine. In the Verbal Aggressiveness, my mom and I both got around the same score, where as my husband's score for me came out differently.

What other insights about communication did you gain this week? 
I have realized that to communicate effectively there are many things you need to do and ways to interact and communication can positively and negatively influence your relationships with others. 
I have also realized that how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us can be so different. I think it also depends on how well they know you. When first meeting someone, communication can be unclear or misunderstood because we all communication things in different ways. On the same hand, it can still be foggy with someone you know well. My teammate and I always laugh because we share our ideas, and we think we're speaking differently but then after much conversation and debate, we are actually trying to say the same thing, we've just chosen different words and a different way of presenting it. Communication can be difficult, but if you find ways to be effective, you can get your ideas and opinions across to others.

  1. I quite agree with you Caitlin that communication can actually positively or negatively influence our relationship with others. We need to be more patient in communication.
