Who am I as a communicator?

This week we were asked to take three quizzes. The quizzes evaluated communication anxiety, verbal aggression, and listening style. When I took the communication anxiety quiz I scored in the mild range. This is at no surprise to me. I find it easy to speak in public situations. I have also found that when I am in a group I usually end up being the group spokesman. Taking the listening style quiz I scored in group 1. Group 1 means that I am a people oriented person and a good listener. The only thing that surprised me was the results from the third quiz for verbal aggression. When I took the verbal aggression quiz I scored in the moderate range, but when one of the people I asked to judge me took the quiz I scored in the significant range. I found that I am very verbally aggressive toward that person. I hadn't realized that I act differently toward him. I feel that I need to pay more attention to how I treat that particular person. As a teacher I always want to make sure all of my children are being treated with the same respect. Maybe I should apply this same rule in all of the other parts of my life.
