Asks the questions
What is your communication style: a person listens to another person
 
You’re naturally curious and genuinely interested in other people’s stories and thoughts. That makes people feel heard around you. You know how to ask the right questions at the right time, which keeps conversations smooth and engaging. While others may skim the surface with casual chit-chat, you prefer going deeper. Even the smallest topic can become fascinating to you because you’re truly invested in what others have to say. Just remember to share your own perspective too - this helps turn any chat into a rich, meaningful exchange.
The flow
What is your communication style: People talk in a cafe
 
You can talk about almost anything for hours. Whether the topic is deep or light, you keep the conversation moving by balancing questions with your own insights. Chats with you are never one-sided—they’re dynamic and full of back-and-forth. People enjoy talking with you because you make it easy to open up. You’re the kind of person everyone wants next to them at a family dinner: someone who keeps things interesting and never lets the conversation go stale.
The sharing
What is your communication style: a man talking to a woman
 
You love to share your thoughts and speak your mind, and you’re not shy about expressing your opinion—even if no one asks. This adds energy to conversations and often sparks deeper discussion. But sometimes, it can backfire—especially if the person you’re talking to just wants to vent or be heard. Not everyone is looking for a debate. So, it helps to read the room and figure out whether someone is open to hearing your point of view or simply needs a listener. There’s always a time and place to speak up—you just have to know when it fits.
