Im a compromising person
In my everyday life I do have some problems but when one comes across me I tend to be very compromising and many times that is something that hurts me because you cant be like that all the time. So I know that I need to be more mean and competetive when it comes to problems.

Listening Styles Test
Yesterday after i finished the listening test i didnt have time to write about how i feelt about it. Well i didnt really agree with the test because it gave me a 42 and i do not think that this is true because i am very good listener. i mean sometimes i will interupt up the person if they get me mad or i feel that they are lying to me because i dont deal with bs. But I do feel that when someone has something important to tell me or if someone is having some problems I will listen and try to help. So I think that this test is not accurate!

Listening Skills Test
Despite the fact that humans are born with two ears and one mouth, we still tend to talk more often than we listen. Our ability to listen - to truly process what's being said - is taken for granted. Many would argue that listening is by far one of the most important skills we can possess, and rather than strive to be great speakers, we're better off striving to be exceptional listeners. Think about how many miscommunications and problems could have been prevented if the people involved had been better listeners - in history and in your own life! Active listening is crucial for good communication.
Snapshot Report
Mental Attentiveness
42
You responses indicate that your mental attentiveness is generally good, but needs to be improved. During conversations, you sometimes have difficulty fully attending to a speaker, and may occasionally find your mind wandering. Good listeners will try to find at least one thing remotely interesting about a dull topic instead of zoning out or simply pretending to be interested. They also know how to keep their focus centered on the speaker, no matter how strong the temptation to daydream. Keep in mind that if you are not fully attuned to a conversation, you may end up missing out on a lot of important information, which, in some cases, can have rather embarrassing results!
