Overall, your listening skills require improvement. You do
not appear to have a very long attention span and you are
not a very patient listener. In some cultures, your lack of
attention could be perceived by the others as disrespect.
Make sure that you don’t start important conversations
when you are preoccupied or in a hurry.
Try to use the active listening skills covered in this book. It
is impossible to communicate well with others if you don't
allow them to talk. Try to make a conscious effort to listen
without interrupting; concentrate on what they are saying
and how they are saying it. Listening is a skill and, like any
skill, requires practice.

This would indicate that you are OK when it comes to
listening skills but you could do better. Try to pay conscious
attention to your own body language, your voice, your
vocabulary. As you gain understanding of these, try to
guess what the others are communicating beyond their
words, and check with them whether you are correct.
Try to pay attention to both verbal and non-verbal
messages, and to verify with the other person when you
detect a possible discrepancy between them. Try to
develop your active listening skills through practice and
feedback.
