WK 4 Myself as a communicator
So I asked two people to evaluate me, I can't say I was surprised by their answers because we are different people. I think it's good that all three of had different scores in at 2 areas and the same in 1 area. Before I continue about the evaluations, if you think about it, the people we hang around are a image of how we feel about ourselves and our values. All three of us had the same score in listening, two of us had the same score in verbal, and all three of us had different scores for communication. I learned that my first impressions are different for all people. I also learned that I need to be more open when meeting new people and not assume the worst.

When meeting new people it can be hard to open up. I also had scores in the groupings. You are right, people can view the same situation and have a different opinion. I think that is what makes the world so interesting.
ReplyDeleteYes, we do tend to associate with people who share our values and ideas. This week I learned that first impressions are very misleading because they are based on what we think and feel and can have nothing to do with the truth of a particular person. We all viewed the same picture and arrived at different information about the woman.
ReplyDeleteThis week's assignment was a very interesting one. I got to see the real opinions of people that surround me and see the differences and similarities of who I'm and who they think I'm as a communicator. I was very curious to know their opinions and my own.
ReplyDeleteI agree we do associate ourselves with people that we believe are images of ourselves. I wonder if we do this subconsciously or intentionally? My score outcomes where pretty much the same. We all had similar scores in one area then in communication anxiety is where we differed. The other two people saw me one way and I saw myself another.
