The results on my scale showed that I perceive myself to be a competent communicator in the areas containing friends and dyad. I scored 90 % in the friend’s subgroup. I scored that high because that is whom I am most comfortable with. I spend the majority of my time with my friends so it would make sense that friends are my strongest area when it comes to interacting with others.

Even though, I think talking to strangers is a great way to improve communication skills it is defiantly a skill that can be developed and one can get used to.

We spend a lot of time around each other and with that, the results were pretty much the exact same when she filled it out. The strongest subgroup was friends with 90%, which is the exact same score as I gave myself. The next highest was dyad which also was the second highest when I filled it out. The lowest subgroup was strangers. Even though the numbers were a little different, a stranger...
