The Print Assessment contains instructions for completing the assessment, the 24 statements participants will evaluate, a scoring form, instructions for calculating and charting scores, and general interpretative information. The Print Assessment is typically administered during the workshop; however, it can also be administered in advance as pre-work.
ONLINE OR IN PERSON
What's My Communication Style can be delivered as an online learning experience, in-person training event, or blended learning experience.
You can use the assessment as a standalone development tool, but it is best followed by the four-hour instructor-led course, in which participants reflect on their results through group discussion, application activities, and the development of an action plan for improving communication skills. We also provide facilitators with a one-page outline for a shorter “lunch-and-learn” style training session.
Understanding communication styles is essential for individuals at all organizational levels. It is often included in training classes for communication, leadership, team building, supervisory skills, and conflict resolution.
HOW IT WORKS
Participants start by identifying a preference for one of four communication styles using a research-based and validated learning assessment. A follow-up instructor-led workshop will teach participants how to "speed-read" the styles of colleagues and learn how to flex their personal style to improve communication.
This communication styles training assessment takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Individuals are presented with 24 statements and select the response that best represents the way they communicate. There are four response options to each statement, and each response measures one of the four personal communication styles: Direct, Spirited, Considerate, or Systematic. Learners are then presented with a profile detailing their dominant style and scores for each style.
At the heart of What’s My Communication Style is the HRDQ Style Model, based upon the research of William Moulton Marston, Carl Jung, and other behavioral science pioneers. The HRDQ Style Model goes beyond theory to offer a clear, relatable way to understand how people express themselves and interpret others. With What’s My Communication Style, employees at all levels will gain practical and actionable insight into their everyday communications.
