communication styles
Individuals have various preferences for both communicating with others and interpreting the communications from others. Numerous models have been developed which describe how to recognize an individual's preferred style of communicating and what strategy to use in communicating most effectively with them. i feel that i have a unique sense of communication skills. there are four types of speaking, if you ask me. one is the EXPRESSER, they are the people that get excited during a conversation. then there is the DRIVER, this person like their own way; and has decisive & strong viewpoints. then there is the RELATER, this person likes positive attention, as well as they like to be helpful & to be regarded warmly. and finally there is the ANALYTICAL type of communicater. now this kind of person likes to seek a lot of data, ask many questions, behave methodically & systematically. based on these four ideas i would have to say i am a little bit of everything. i tend to get excited , very ofetn acutally, during a conversation. and at the same time i have my own way and ideas because i am a stubborn person. but i do like to relate to people because i like to know whats going on and see what things i can think of to help them out, if needed. then there are the passive, agressive and assertive type of poeple. i feel that i am very agressive with my language. which is the communication style in which you stand up for your rights while maintaining respect for the rights of others. i like to take chargeand have more control or te situation because i am a very goal-oriented person. i mean when you have to get something done you get it done. i most definately need Time. i like to be efficient and get things done now. not later but right now right now. but not rush into things and get caught doing the wrong or unneccessary thing. and then there are things i do not like such as: boring explanations and wasting time with too many facts. also someone that wastes my time trying to decide for me. one thing i really love is to get into a competitive situation all because i absolutely love to win.i do not like to make an error or mistakes, or even being unprepared, but spontaneity is kind of my thing. i have done a lot of my best work by being spontaneous. things like this just somehow work for me. i enjoy being Inspired. inspiring me to bigger & better accomplishments is my absolute favorite thing to have happen. but at the same time i need to be free. the freedom to do things my own way is the best thing because i do great things. i tend to be the silent genius because i have always had an issue with speaking out on my ideas, i just do things.

I have to agree with you when you say that you are direct and to the point. I am the same way when it comes to online communication. I believe we do this because since we are communicating online and not physically talking to the person we have to be brief and to the point or else our question or idea will get lost in all those words. Like you said you don’t want to waste time by saying a lot of useless information. If you do have a lot of useless information then the person will be turned off by you and will perhaps not respond back. I also agree with you that your communication varies from situation to situation. I can understand if it is of importance that steps be followed exactly for a certain procedure then you do have to be detailed in your communication to make sure that things go exactly right and not wrong. I find it that if this is the case then I much rather talks to that person over the phone because it would be much easier and it would feel as if I am there helping them because they can actually hear my voice instead of have to read and pretend I am reading to them. Online communication has its benefits but it also has its limitations. Nice blog!
