.

Complete the scale Identifying Your Social Style

Links to an external site.

. While completing the scale, focus on a real-life workplace relationship (can be a manager or boss, coworker, subordinate/someone you lead or customer/client) that is important to you. If you do not have a real-life workplace relationship that is important to you, then focus on a business or professional relationship. The key here is to understand your social style in the context of business and professional communication.

In your essay, you will first discuss your results from both assessment tools. What social style are you? What are the characteristics of your social style? Provide personal examples that demonstrate how your communication behaviors (your results from the personal report of communication apprehension) reflect the social style you are characterized as. Do you in any way disagree with the social style you have been characterized as? If so, discuss why and provide examples that demonstrate how your behaviors don’t fit your assigned social style.

Next, revisit the Identifying Your Social Style and, to the best of your ability, assess the social style of the other person. What is his or her social style? If his or her social style is different from yours, provide a brief description of his or her social style. Provide examples that demonstrate how his or her behaviors fit with this assigned social style.
