Self-Assessment: Active Listening Skills Inventory (this is the one i selected and my results was (Organizing information)
***Organizing Information – A good practice to encourage active listening is to organize the content of what is being said. This can be done mentally, but the effectiveness is usually increased by the physical action of note taking.
**Organizing Information – Speakers are often disorganized in how they communicate, bouncing around from one topic to another and speaking in an illogical manner. One of your listening objectives is to organize the useful information into key points. Have you listened well enough to summarize what the other person said? Also, ask questions such as, “Tell me more about…?” or “What did you mean by…?” Not only will it help you organize and expand what you learn but also show your interest in what the person is saying. Taking notes is a time-honored strategy for organizing information.
