Each person has a unique way of communicating. We use a combination of body language, facial expression, verbal tone and word choice to share ourselves with others. The following statements offer a look at the natural behavior you bring to an interpersonal relationship.
  • You tend to listen rather than talk. You may place a premium on display of emotions. As a result, "reading" you at times may be difficult.

     
  • Because of your need to be quiet rather than rambling, you are somewhat introspective about events and activities. You may not communicate readily and rapidly with others, but this does not mean you don't support others.

     
  • You attempt to influence others not by showing great emotion, but by appealing to the logical nature of people. Those who are more emotional and excitable may sometimes ignore your approach.

     
  • You are usually astute in social situations because you take little at face value, will listen carefully and accurately, and will watch others carefully.

     
  • You may want to base relationships on a nonemotional respect for each other's abilities, and base your level of trust on directness and straightforwardness.

     
  • Some people may inaccurately perceive you as not liking people. You may be misread by others, because you approach social situations with logic and objectivity, judging others by their competence--you may sometimes be misread by others.

     
  • You may be somewhat reticent and retiring when with others, especially in a large group. As others grow louder, you may become quieter. You value control of emotions, and are more reflective than rowdy.
