what's your style?

i was perusing the net and ended up drawn to a search for defining communication styles.  communication, when developed, can be your strongest tool in getting what you want.  it can also be a critical determining factor of where you end up and how you get there.

i found the following table...

i'm interested...what's your style?

i'd say i am definitely a mix...let's go 60% Relater, 40% Driver.  i came up with that ratio after doing some sincere self-evaluation...and with the help of my boyfriend.  let's be real: we don't always have a perfect picture of ourselves or realize how we're perceived.

i'm definitely dating an Analytical, no doubt about it.  and i think that's ok.  we complement each other well.

it's important to understand your own communication style, and just as important to understand those of people you interact with routinely.  give them what they want, give them what they need, and help them give you what you need.  awareness is key.

miscommunication, in my view, is the root of all that goes wrong in relationships.  

...this includes working relationships, friendships, romantic and family - talk it out, and communicate effectively.  they're worth it, your time is worth it, and you are worth it.
