| Social Skills are essential when working in teams. If you want to accomplish things with and through others, you simply cannot be effective if you are unable to interact skilfully in social settings. As with any skill development programme, you need to know where you are before constructing a learning agenda for where you want to be. Go to the Internet home page for Body-Mind QueenDom (www.queendom.com) and select the subheading “Tests” under the main menu heading “interactive”. At the “Tests” page, read the brief welcome statement about QueenDom’s psychological tests, and then scroll down to the “Communication Skills Test” (under Top tests), read the brief instructions, complete all items, and click on the “score” button for automatic scoring. It is possible, if you choose, to print a personal copy of your completed questionnaire and results. Questions 1 Possible scores of the self-assessment questionnaire range from 0 to 100. How did you score? Are you pleasantly (or unpleasantly) surprised by your score? 2 What is your strongest social/communication skill? 3 Reviewing the questionnaire item by item, can you find obvious weak spots in your social/communication skills? For instance, are you a poor listener? Do you interrupt too often? Do you need to be more aware of others, both verbally and non-verbally? Do you have a hard time tuning into others’ feelings or expressing your own feelings? How do you handle disagreement? 4 Based on the results of this questionnaire, what is your learning agenda for improving your social and communication skills.
