What is the one thing that surprised you the most? and Why?I will have to say the fact that my teenage daughter, my mother and I all scored in the same range of 53-68 as moderate in the aggressiveness scale. The reason why I am so surprised is because these are two of my biggest critics, they are constantly on me about being over aggressive so I was certain they would have scored hire than me. But now they both want to say your just direct and to the point you don't like small talk but they claim I'm not as bad as they portray me to be they just exaggerated a lit bit. Which is good to hear, I don't want to be to direct to where people feel uncomfortable or that they can talk to me. What other insights did I gain this week? One insight that I did gain is that my anxiety is not as bad as I thought it was, I thought that I was trembling soaking wet material when it came to public speaking. But according to this test I am not that bad. I was once told when I spoke the great job I have done, but I was convinced I spoke like I was on a witness stand. I received a standing ovation which I thought was out of pity but my husband confirmed to me that I did a great job. I see people that speak often and they said you have normal anxiety issues that we all face, its not easy getting in front of people to speak. I am just glad this test help me confirmed my feelings are normal.

Being direct and to the point is important as well. But I agree you need a balance of both when communicating to others. I feel that if we know the material we are speaking about the way we communicate on the subject will be positive. I know if I speak on a topic that I know I feel better and more relaxed than if I do not know the content that I am speaking about it.
