21 – 30 Disrupts Flow

  • Too positive; pushes mood
  • Too fast, adrenalized, pushes mood
  • Half-duplex (can’t hear when speaking)
  • Inattentive, easily distracted
  • Information-reactive (responds only to information, not person or feelings)
  • Literal, can’t get gist easily
  • Keeps making point even after other person got it
  • Responds with non sequiturs
  • Interrogates, peppers with questions
  • Overly concerned, too significant

31 – 40 Lack of Clarity

  • Trite, boring, old, useless
  • Pat answers or quotes, walking cliché
  • Confusing, overly complicated
  • Vague, rambles, repetitive
  • Mishears, mislabels, assumes
  • Consumes information versus assimilating it
  • Dogmatic, righteous, singular
  • Linear, two-dimensional, flat information
  • Overloads with too much information
  • Too quick with advice

Use this checklist to strengthen your effectiveness or as part of your professional development. As you use this list, you will discover that each item leads to a person’s heart and soul. If one’s eyes are mirrors of the soul, communication is a mirror of the mind.
