Upon taking those assessments I was unsure of what the high score would be however, I ranged at the 50% mark which to me meant I am an ok communicator with room to grow.  I realized after the assessment that I am really not that comfortable speaking in front of people.  I talked to one of my sisters and a co-worker to get their feedback and was shocked that they both thought I was a good communicator as well as public speaker.  The times I have had to speak I studied and practiced and I guess I used the proper eye contact and body language because they were impressed.  I believe my problem is more in me when I doubt myself.  I am used to talking around family so that is ok.  I also have to meetings but I think my anxiety would come in if I had to speak to a large group.  Two insights I learned this week is not to make assumptions about anyone.  I also learned how important body language, eye contact, and facial expressions are when communicating effectively.
