  1. According to my highest score, I am assertive. I am agree with this style because I like to be clear and direct when I express my needs, desires and opinions in a way which is considerate of others. In second place I am aggressive, according to the quiz, but I disagree with this one because the aggressive communicator wins, but the other communicator loses. And this is not my style.

  2. Hi, I'm Lorena Gómez, and this is my comment:
    Well, According to my score in this test, i´m assertive. I think I feel confortable being clear and trying to understand people and make them understands me, which it's very important in busisness's world (I study a mayor in Financial Management). My second hight score is in passive-agressive. I admit that sometimes I feel like I want to show people that a know a lot about some stuff, I'm competitive and I want to be the best in my area, something tha it makes me like ambitious and a little selfish

  3. According to my quiz results I tend to be assertive (18) and passive aggressive (17). I agree with the results, mostly with the part that says that I am assertive, which has turned out to be a personal improvement compared to when I was younger. At that time I always tended to be passive, and that caused me a lot of trouble because people never gave importance to what I said (and that was certainly my fault). I guess the change came as I grew up and started giving my words the importance they deserved. That proves that society really changes people when it comes to communication. In my case it became a welcomed change, but for others can be the complete opposite.

  4. According to my highest score, I am assertive. I am agree because I am a outgoing person, if I need something I just ask, if I don’t feel good with you in my job I will tell you what is bothering me or why I don’t feel comfortable, I respect for the boundaries of oneself and others.
    My second score was passive, as you can see me I am very patient, if someone argue with some mistake I made I just the reason and try to don’t do it again, if to the office goes someone mad I try to talk with him and find a way to calm down the person.

  5. I totally agree with my results in my communication style quiz. It says that i'm an assertive person wich means that I clearly and directly express my needs, desires and opinions in a way wich is considerate of others. I don't like others to feel bad when i'm expressing myself, that's why i always try to be polite and kind.

  6. My scores:
    Aggressive 12
    Passive 12
    Passive aggressive 8
    Assertive 19
    My highest score was assertive and I totally agree with the scores. I recognize that most of the time I try to express my ideas and my point of view and assert my rights without being aggressive or putting my rights on the rights of others. I like to be fair.

    On the other hand I am aware that this will often depend on the type of conversation and who are you talking with. I say that because I am imposing on many occasions about my ideas.

  8. my score for agressive is higger than the others, but I also was nearly from assertive, so according to those results I may admit it's a little bit true but not entire. I accept more the assertive's score because it describes me so far so good!

    The quiz is correct because i am an assertive communicator, what i mean is that i express my needs, desires and opinions to other peaople. But my second highest score is passive agresive, i dont think y am passive agresive, so the quiz might of gone wrong there.

  11. Based on the order of the results:

    Assertive:18
    Passive:11
    Agressive:8
    Passive-Agressive:8

    I agree with the results, because in general I'm an assertive styled person but in some situations I'm an passive styled person so basically, for a free test, it at least gives you a general picture of what kind of style you belong, of coarse, not a very exact one.

  12. My scores.
    Aggressive 14.
    Passive 9.
    Passive aggressive 17.
    Assertive 18.

    I agree with the results, because somehow I know that's true. I can be someone fun to be with but if I have to tell you something I'll tell you right away, I don't have to talk behind your back because if I do, it's because you already know what I'm telling.

    I really agree with the results of the test. I think that i am a calmed and pasive person, but if i have to make an statement with authority i do it, but respecting others opinion and ideas.
