What are the different types of listening styles, and what style do you most closely identify with?

• Explain what your listening style is and what you have observed about how you listen.
• To what degree do you think your gender influences how well you listen?
• Evaluate what other factors you think influence your listening ability. Use the theories and research you learned this module to support your conclusion and personal examples.
