Imagine you are listening to someone talk about their problems, but their story seems illogical to you. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

I will focus on his emotions and try to understand what he is experiencing. I will wait until he/she finishes, and then I will ask about the details that don't make sense to me. I start to wonder if they want to deceive or manipulate me. I will discreetly change the subject to avoid tension. I will express my confusion and ask him to explain it to me more clearly.

How do you react when you notice that the other person is avoiding eye contact and seems distracted during the conversation?

Select an answer:

I will try to engage her with a question about something that might interest her more. I will change my tone of voice or speaking style to engage her. I am starting to doubt whether she is actually interested in what I am saying. I will interrupt the conversation and give her space, maybe she has other concerns. I ignore it and continue the conversation as before.

Imagine someone is telling you about their struggles, but you feel tired and don’t have the energy to listen. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will openly tell him that I am currently not in a state to be a good listener. I will try to listen to him, but if it becomes too exhausting, I will try to shorten the conversation. I'm pretending to listen, but in reality, I'm focusing on something else. I will reluctantly join the conversation, even though it takes a lot of energy from me. I suggest we discuss it another time when I am in better shape.

If you had the opportunity to improve one listening-related skill, what would it be?

Select an answer:

Be more patient, even when the other person speaks slowly or long-windedly. To better understand the hidden meanings behind the words of others. Maintain attention even during longer or less interesting conversations. Stop preparing your response in your head before the other person finishes their thought. It's better to remember the details of conversations so that I can refer back to them later.

How do you feel when someone remains silent longer than usual during a conversation?

Select an answer:

I perceive it as a space for thinking and I will leave it in peace. I will start to feel uncomfortable and try to quickly fill the silence. I'm wondering if I said something inappropriate. I will support the other person to continue, for example with a gentle nod. I will guess whether he is silent because he is unsure or because he doesn't want to answer.

If someone is telling you about something you absolutely disagree with, how do you react?

Select an answer:

I am trying to understand his perspective and I am asking about the reasons for his stance. I will express my disagreement, but with respect and without confrontation. I let him talk, but internally I am already forming counterarguments. I will quickly end the conversation because I don't want to deal with conflicts. I will try to find at least some point on which we could agree.

Imagine someone is telling you the same story you've heard several times before. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I listen with the same attention, because it obviously means something to him. I will gently hint that he has already told me this so that we can move forward. I think with disgust that he could be more attentive to what he has already said. I will try to enrich the story with some of my own questions or a new perspective. I will patiently wait for it to end, even though I am no longer interested.

When you talk to someone who seems emotionally closed off, how do you behave?

Select an answer:

I will give him space and not force him to open up to me. I will try to encourage him with questions that might help him speak more. I feel frustration because I don't know what I actually have with him. I will adapt to his style and will not put pressure on sharing. I will start talking more about myself to make you feel more comfortable.

How do you feel when someone is distractedly looking at their phone during a conversation?

Select an answer:

I perceive it as a sign of disrespect and the conversation is no longer interesting to me. I'll try to find out if he's doing it intentionally or just out of habit. I will adapt, and maybe I will also check my phone so I don't feel awkward. I will gently point it out or change my way of speaking to engage him. I ignore it and continue the conversation as if nothing happened.

If someone says to you after an important conversation, "Thank you for listening to me," how do you feel?

Select an answer:

I am glad that I could be a support and that the person appreciates it. I feel a bit uneasy because I don't know if I really helped. I am surprised that he said it because I take listening for granted. I feel that I could do even more to help. I will think about what I have learned from this conversation.
