When I evaluated myself as a communicator it was at times difficult to decide which answer choice described me because I know what I want everyone to perceive me as, but is that who I am? I think that for others it was difficult to know what emotions I feel as I communicate. For example, one of the persons that completed the survey asked me afterwards how was she to know how I felt inside when I was in different situations. I thought this was a good question, she cannot. But at the same time they had to answer based on my body gestures and facial expressions at those moments to determine if I appeared anxious on the outside. This feedback allowed us to see how we are perceived by our peers and friends as communicators. I was most shocked on how high my score was for verbal aggression from my friend. I hope that I can become more aware of the tone and nature with which I respond to situations in order to be less aggressive with others. Although my score showed that I was concerned for others and do not attack them personally, that one score was very close to the next level of aggression.
