How Well Do You Communicate?

Would you like to see what kind of communicator you are? And how effective you are? Will the results match what you think?

Our free 3-Minute Communication Style Quiz has been used by thousands of people to assess (anonymously) how they communicate. Complete it and you can download an immediate and detailed report on the sort of mistakes you make – and how to fix them! It's fun, easy to do - and will show you how you can become a more effective communicator.

Here's a great way to test your communication style and skills:

Anonymous - none of your details are stored!
Takes just 3 minutes with 15 research-backed multiple choice questions
AMAZINGLY accurate results
FREE personalised online report
Action Plan showing you how to IMPROVE!

We hope you find it as useful as thousands of others have done.

But this is important: you must answer these questions with what REALLY applies to you, not what you'd LIKE to be the case. Your report will be based solely on the answers you give, and no-one else needs to see it, so be completely truthful!

Instructions

Scroll down the page: there are 15 questions that will appear as you mouse over them: just click to select the answer for each.

Don't worry if any scenario doesn't apply directly to you, just imagine yourself in an equivalent situation.

And remember:

Don't over-think it
If none apply, pick the closest match
Be honest

Have fun and we hope you find it useful!

However, if you don't have the time to answer the questions and would rather just read some helpful communication tips, take a look at our blog post Time Management blog – but be sure to come back to this questionnaire later: the report you get at the end really is worthwhile!
