With that title, you might wish to add a space between 'how' and 'well'.Originally Posted by actsnoblemartin

How are you defining well? How do those options MEASURE what 'well' is?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Abbey, you can communicate with me anytime you want
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

True, based on the options in the poll, the question should read, "How do you communicate?"
Of course, were that the question, I would be forced to respond with the predictable "by talking" or "with my cell phone" or "with my middle finger."

A constructive criticism ala the above post. Seems it should have said, "What do you think your style of communication predominately is?
I see myself as mostly 'informative'. On the other hand, I can be aggressive or reactive. Occasionally, passive-aggressive.

And a constructive criticism of that post would be:

My option isn't listed.
I'm bold and direct but playful most of the time. I love to be politically incorrect in crowds. I also like to ask the questions and say the things that you are not supposed too. Like asking women how old they are, if their new shoes hurt their feet or if they are still learning to walk in them. You know cute things like that. I love to watch women respond to those things it just cracks me up. I particularly love it when they gasp in shock after one of my questions or statements.
I can usually say things to people without offending them, whiles others saying the same thing would offend. However I have no tolerance for certain groups of people and don't worry about offending them.
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

It usually depends upon how comfortable I am around the person with whom I am speaking.

...and perhaps your desired outcome of the conversation?
If you were speaking to me, and wanted something from me, you'd likely be asstertive. "Darin - go to my room. Now."
