When i want to listen i am a good listener and will remember what i hear. But if i dont care, am tired, or have other things on my mind i am not good at listening.

I'm a good informational and critical listener. Because when im studying or listening to something important i know i must learn it. Sometimes I'm a bad empathetic listener.

When i listen to lectures i learn the material faster, when i meet new friends i like to learn about them and what they like, and sometimes when i don't pay attention at work i get yelled at so i should listen better at work.

I will use all of them

1) i give my self on a scale of 1-10 a 7.

2) i think i am the best at creative, informational because i am not to good at listening to information.

3) when my friends are trying to discribe a place they have been to.

4) taking notes and paying attention actually thinking about the subjec.

On a scale of 1-10 I would say I'm an 8.I think I do the best at Critical listening because I know whatever is being said is very important and that makes me pay attention more. I think I do the worst at Informational listening because I sometimes interpret things differently.An example is when a teacher is telling me what is going to be on the test and when I listen I am able to do better on the test. Paying attention more and looking for emotion from the reader.

1. I can be a good listener when I want to be.

2. I think I am the best at creative listening, and I am the worst at informational listening. I don't like having to memorize information.

3. At work when my boss tells me what to do or at school when I find out what homework I have to do.

4. Not yielding to distraction, and hearing aids.

1. I would rate myself as a pretty good listener, because I can multitask well.

2. I think I am the best at creative listening because when I listen to music I always imagine the song. I am the worst at empathic because I don't always sypmathize with someone.

3. I use it at school, work, home, and with my friends all the time because it helps me communicate.

4. I need to give full attention to the speaker and watch body language and tone to understand emotions.

1. i would say that im an average listener, i can listen when i choose too.

2. i think im best at empathic. i think this because i can listen to people and show them im really interested and give good feedback to them. im probebly worst at informational because i try to take notes word by word.

3. its helped me at school because ive learned. at home it helps me do what my parents want me too. when im with my friends it helps me connect with what they are talking about.

4. i think that note taking would help me alot and i think if i can pay more attention to people then it will help me even more.

I think i am a good listener when it comes to other people and their feelings about things or when someone is telling me a time and a date to be some where. I dont think i am a good listener when its about something borings, like something educational.

I think im best at empathic listening and i think im worst at informational listening.

At school it helps me because of informational listening and at home for creative and empathic listening and same goes for my friends. at work i use a lot of informational and critical thinking.

not getting distracted and not blocking out important things

1. On a 1 to 10 scale I think I listen at about an 8.

2. I think I am best at creative because you make whatever you want out of what you are hearing. I think I am the worst at critical listening because I struggle making decisions and like to have time to make them.

3. It helps me build relationships with others. An example would be in the classroom I have met many classmates through listening to their life stories.

4. Always focusing on just the speaker and not being distracted by outside figures other than the speaker.

1. Okay listener, sometimes i will listen but other times I ignore what someone says to me.

2. my best is probably informational, because i like to research stuff and find out about a topic, my worst is probably creative, because I don't see myself as a creative person and i don't think i could come up with a very good speech with creativeness.

3. Listening to Notes or about a section to learn in school.

4. to block out distractions and to pay more attention to the speaker.
