Lying Inventory

According to the lying inventory I am ok with certain types of lies. I have a problem with people who lie just to lie. To me that is not necessary. I lie when the situation calls for it. For instance when the outcome of the truth is more harmful to the person than lying to them I would rather lie to the person. So lying isn't a;; that bad.

sharing emotions

from the looks of things on this test I have no problems on sharing emotions if the situation calls for it. For instance if I were in a relationship with someone I would not tell that person I liked a third person cause that would be retarted. Also I wouldn't tell the third person I was in a relationship with somebody else.

I just did the anxiety test and it says I have a very low level of anxiety. These test haven't been very accurate about me up until this test. It said I had a 25 % level of aanxiety, that's very accurate. In certain situations I do tend to have a moderate level of anxiety but most of the time I just roll with the punches.

Conflict Management Style

The conflict management style I use predominantly is compromise. For the most part I think it is effective for me. Sometimes I can compromise a little to much and come out on the short end of the stick a lot. I can incorporate more of the collaboration management style into the compromise management style iI use right now. That way i don't always have to give up some of my ideas to solve a problem. There was this one time that I was playing a football with a couple of friends and we were up by 2 touchdowns. The other team forgot the score and since we were the better team I let them say we were tied. We ended up winning the game anyway.

Mental Attentiveness

Today I took a listening test and scored a 68. That puts me in the Mental Attentiveness range which means I generally don't have a problem fully attending to people speaking. This does apply to me somewhat the only thing I would add is that if someone speaking is not talking about anything close to being interesting I do zone out. Other than that it fits me fine.

Football

Today i'm bloggin about my favorite football team the Dallas Cowboys. I was having a conversation about whose the best team in the nfl today with a coworker and friend. Now there is no possible way to prove who is the best team in the nfl right now and that is what i tried to prove to them but they wouldn't have it. I believe they were being egocentric communicators because they were just speaking but not caring about the receiver of their message.

Learning Styles Inventory

My learning style scores:
Visual:11
Social:16
Physical:12
Aural:15
Verbal:18
Solitary:11
Logical:11
I guess that makes me a verbal/social learner. I would have to disagree with these numbers because I think i'm more of a visual person. I also think I work well on my own, that dosen't mean I don't work well in groups. Also my main problem with this is my logical score is so low. I think i'm a very logical person and I am measured in my actions. Also my communicating style is that of a analyzer thinker. Now that I agree with.
