Listening Self-Assessment:

After your test you will get this score and detailed explanations of all the questions and how you scored. You can take your % scores and use them to guide you through the program. You will get 8-10 specific recommendations to improve your listening skills.

Each section of this course refers to the six qualities of a good listener - Memory, Open-mind, Respect, Empathy, Attention, Response— allowing you to pay additional attention.

This is the area of listening development people find most interesting. All of us screen our experiences through our perceptual filters that consist of all that makes each of us unique.

Listening Blocks arise in response to these filters, and are to many extents "optional" - we are able to block or not block communication as we wish. Five major listening blocks are discussed in the course.
