I am empathic listener. understanding is what I would call my greatest skill, because as a young child my parents taught me the importance of manipulation. to do this you must listen and understand their point of view so you can change it
Selective listening would definatly be my worst bad habit. Growing up everyone had a habit of cutting off someones sentece, the same was definatly for me. When i'm with my friends i tend to jump in on random parts ( not meaning to) and i'm way off on what they were talking about. Once my sister had to be checked because they thought she was deft when realy all she had was selective listening.
I think that most often, I practice selective listening. For example, if I'm told something that matters little to me, such as what happened in my friend's class, I am much less likely to remember it than if it pertains directly to me or another person we both know. Likewise, if a subject interests me, I will learn about it in the greatest detail that I can. But if it doesn't, then I will put little effort into it.
Out of the 5 different levels of listening i belive i am the attentive listner, i believe i am an attentive listner because everyday i try and actually listen to what my friends and family members are saying and pay attention to the words and the tone to pick up on problems or even something exciting thats going on in their lives. i am usually the person my friends come to when they need someone to listen because they know i am actually sincerly instrested in what they have to say and i try and give my best advice possible.
I have always found myself to use selective listening in everyday life. I can sometimes get distracted by little things going on around me and can suddenly not be focusing on the person speaking to me. But when it is necessary, I make sure that I act with attentive or empathetic listening, when either in class or some other form of teacher such as dance or music. So in conclusion, I try my hardest to use attentive and empathetic listening, but sometimes the distractions get the better of me and I resort to selective listening.
I am an attentive listener. Often times i find it hard to be empathetic because I have not been through what they are talking about. However, I do listen very closely to people and I am often called a "sponge". I will admit though, that I have been known to be more selective when it comes to listening to my parents. Proof of my attentiveness comes when it is time to buy my girlfreind a present. I pay a lot of attention to what she says and I have a knack for remembering her preferences. So far I'm 3 for 3 on fantastic surprise presents and I attribute that to my listening skills.
I no its bad but im a selective listener. I can be a really good listener when i want to hear what you hav to say, but when i dont i completely tune you out.
I am more of a selective listener. I only hear the things that i really want to hear and not the things that people actually say. It gets me into trouble with my parents because I think that they say something and it is something totally different.
I am would consider myself to be a selective listener. Most of the time my mom tells me to do something, i am able to tune her out and continue to focous on TV. however when she tells me that she is going to buy me something my ears perk up and i listen.
I commonly use selective listening. I mostly use it when im with my parents or when babysitting. The only time i use attentive listening is when at school...sometimes
I try to be an empathetic listener as much as possible, but I have caught myself to sometimes be selective. I am mostly selective when my parents are telling me stuff to do, but i need to start practiceing better listening skills. on average I would say I am mostly an attentive listener, and never an ingnoring listener.
Empathetic listener is what i strive to be. I am always attentive and focus on the speaker, but it it very hard to practive full out empethertic listening. I am only an ignoring listener to my little brother. With college coming up I need to be the best listener as I possibly can.
I would have to say that I am an attentive listener. I really like to listen to what others say, and I really hate to talk. My parents raised me to be respectful of others. I believe the best way to respect someone is to listen attentively to what they say.
I tihnk alot of the time i use selective listening with some people which is not always a good thing. I get distracted easily and do not always take in what someone is tryign to tell me. But when it comes to my friends or family i tend to be an empathetic listener
i would say i am an attentive listener because i always listen to my fiends and family talk regardless of what it is about and try and help if i can
I am a selective listener. I tend to focus on only parts of the conversations because I zone out due to add
As with most people my age, I believe I am a selective listener, who is working on becoming an attentive listener. The other day in my macroeconomics class we were learning the foreign exchange market. I happen not to have a particularly fond interest in this field, so my attention was limited and I only seemed to hear when my teacher began to draw something up on the board. After sitting up in my seat and taking a pen in hand, i became a more attentive listener through taking notes over the topic.
Out of the five types of listening, most of the time I am an empathetic listener. I have found that it helps me to build better and stronger relationships with others when I can understand where they are coming from. I also think that people really appreciate being not being tuned out.
I am often a selective listner. Many times I just tune parents and teachers out until I hear somthing I want to hear and don't listen to the context it was used in. Using selective listning has landed me in troble several times.
For the most part I am a selctive listener, unless it is something really important that I need to hear than i can be an attentive listener.
i would have to say im an empathetic listener, such as when one of my friends dad died and i sat there for hours listening to him tell stories about his dad.
i am an attentive listener at most times, when someone has something they really want to talk about i listen. at times i can have selective hearing and hear parts of what people say, then zone out of it and forget what we were talking about, but thats only sometimes.
I usualy pracitce selective listening at school, but I try to be empathetic when talking to my friends and family.
I often use selective listening, but i try to use active listening as often as i can.
I use empathic listening the most, whenever a friend comes to me for advice, I try to get to their level to truely understand, my friend from work, came to me with a problem about our manager, and I told him I recently had the same one, and told him how to resolve it without the act of yelling.
The listening type which i use is the empahtic (from empathy) listening. This listening involves looking out through it, you see the world the way they see the world, you understand their paradigm, you understnad how they feel. In othere words, you put yourself in their shoes. All of the time I do this but one time is brought to my memory. When my brother had to make a real tough choice i put my slef the way he was thinking to make the most logical choice. This is definatley the listening I use most often.
I am a selective listener. I usually don't pay much attention to what my parents say unless it involves me in some way.
I think that I use empathetic listning because in order to formulate an answer or response, I must first understand the question or comment stated so that I can reply accordingly in the right way.
Unfortunately, I think I'm a selective listener. If something I don't find interesting come up, I'll probably close my ears for a moment.. Ex, this happens a lot when my German 'sister' is talking about Germany.
I would consider myself a selective listener. If someone would tell me something that has no importance to me or does not effect me in any way i will most likely disregard there comment. This is a bad habbit because i only take in information that helps me and not others.
I would say out of the five types of listening I practice attentive listening the most. I practice this type of listening each day at school. To get good grades I must listen to my teachers and learn from what they are saying.
I would say that I probably practice attentive listening the most. I feel that I listen to what people are saying, but very often I am not able to be engaged and I do not try to understand what they are telling me. When talking with a friend, sometimes they are telling me something that they want feedback on, but I cannot really help them because I have not fully understood what they are saying, even though I have been listening. This is why being an empathetic listener is so valuable to a person.
Empathic listening is definately one of my greatest skills, for I possess enormous amount of ability to be able to understand one sometimes at merely a glance without being prejudice or judgemental. However, selective listening is not unpresent in my everyday agenda. One of my worst habit is to not be able to remember a person's name for more than one minute. Although I do not fully consider this common habit as an act of selective listening, it is more of the negative result of empathic listening where one is exposed to a large amount of information at once thus ignores the informations on the surface while trying to understand a person holistically.
i use selective hearing alot. i am constantly doing multiple things and when i just can't hear an entire conversation, i only hear the things that i want to hear.
I would definitely be an empathic listener because when someone talks to me and explains a story to me, I always put myself in there position so I understand it better.
i'd have to say i'm an attentive listener because as a captain on the soccer team i must pay attention to what everyone around me is saying and those under me i must be able to understand where they are coming from in order to reach a decision.
Selective listening would be my most used. I use this with mainly adults because they normally only talk at you instead of to you. or they just nag. So, i only hear what i want to hear when they talk.
I'm a selective listener. My problem is that i can remember practically any minute detail, for example quotes from songs or movies, but i can't remember that pre calculus equation to save my life. In class I'll usually listen attentively for about 10 minutes and then i'll get distracted and zone the teacher out.
i am a selective listener because sometimes i pay attention to what people are saying other tiems i just zone out
I belive that I, like many other poeple, am a selective listener. I chose to listen only when i want and select only what i want to listen to. I beleive that many kids and adults are selecltive listeners whether they know it or not.
I consider myself to be a selective listener.I enjoy hearing what I want to hear, not what is actually being said. This is not a good thing when it comes to my job, if my boss tells me something to do, and I dont really hear it, because I am using my selective hearing ability, that can cause a problem.
I am a selective listener no doubt. There are times when i listen to someone and they ramble and I catch about one or two sentences and they'll catch me staring off into space and ask if i was listening. When i attempt to retell their story, i fail miserably.
I most often practice pretending and it is definitely a bad habit. I catch my self doing this usually when I'm "listening" to my mom. She'll tell me to do something and I'll just tune her out and just say "uh huh, ok."
I am often an empathetic listener, as I have a natural tendency to be one. However, when one begins to speak in an unneccessarily voluminous manner, I tend to drop much of the useless information as I absorb it. Unfortunately, I find many people in the latter catagory, and they know it.
Out of the five different levels of listening, I believe I am an attentive listener because I try to listen to what people say when they are talking to me.
i am a selective listener i like to hear what i want because ignorance is bliss
I think that subconsciously i am a selective listener, I don't think i mean to do this but i usually only hear what i want to hear. If i know something will hurt me i tend to ignore it without even realizing that i'm doing it at least that's what all of my friends complain about. For example, if I'm told something that matters little to me, I am much less likely to remember it than if it pertains directly to me or someone i care about.
I am a selective listener. I only hear what I want to hear.
I am more of an empathetic listener because I like to listen to someone's perspective of a subject and express my perspective by being understanding. As for selective listening, I need some practice. Sometimes, I feel like I doze off or lose concentration if I am listening to something that may not be as important or relevant to me.
I think I most practice selective listening. If something does not involve me or something I like or someone I know, I will not remember it so well.
I think i'm mostly a selective listener. i usually listen to things i want to hear and in a way disregard the things i don't want to hear without really meaning to.
I hate to say it but i am a selective listener. it has always been a problem of mine, or so i'm told. it is not uncommon for my friends or parents to be angry at me because they had told me something earlier even though i have no recollection of it.
im a selective listener myself i really don't listen to what most poeple say if i don't think there right.
I would have to say that I am a selective listener. I am a selective listener when my parents tell me to do stuff around the house. But when they say that they are going out i listen very closely
I am mostly an attentive listener. I try and show respect to most everyone I talk to by looking them in the eyes and trying my best to show them that I am listening to everything they are sayin
i am a selective and attentive listener. sometimes when im really busy or on the phone while driving i am too preoccupied to give my full attention to the person that is talking to me. other times when i am not busy i can focus all my attention on the person i am talking with and fully understand what they are saying.the listener i am depends on the situation i am put in.
I am an empathetic listener. I think its important to really listen to your friends and family. People appreciate it when you care about what they are saying.
I would be a selective listener. I have the habit of tunning people out until I hear something that interest me and then I tend to start paying attention.
i am usually a selective listner expecially when it comes to my parents. If they say something that i dont think is right i will tune out and randomly tune back in when i think they are almost done talking.
I listen only when i feel the need to. If it benefits me than im emphathetic when it doesnt im selective.
i am an empathetic listener, i am very understanding of people when they are telling me stuff that they think is important to them.
I am an empathic listener,I try to undersand where people are coming from. I am interested in looking at things from someone elses perspective.
I feel that I usually practice empathetic listening. I think that most of the time when a person is talking to you they want a response. Sometimes people just want someone to listen to them, but if you're having a conversation with a friend and they're telling you something and they finish, they want a response from you and wouldn't be happy if you just stared blankly back at them without adding input. So whenever I'm listening to someone I practice empathetic listening so I can understand what they're saying so I can offer intelligent, relevant, and helpful input.
