"Listening skills" Test

The modern world is filled with a huge amount of information garbage, while people are in information hunger. Why? Perhaps because people love themselves and talking the most. Celeste Headlee talks in more detail about this “phenomenon” in her TED talk.

Listening is the most important skill. Answer 10 simple questions to find out what kind of listener you are.

Memo for taking the test:

 

1. Answer truthfully. Do not embellish, no matter how much you would like it.
2. Ask others (friends or enemies) to rate you. This way you will get more objective results.
3. Based on the test results, make a specific development plan if you need it.
4. Look positively at your development. Even if something doesn’t work out right away, it’s also an experience.
