A Free Self-Assessment Questionnaire for Assertiveness
www.queendom.com
As covered in this chapter, communication styles vary from nonassertive to aggressive. We recommended that you strive to use an assertive style while avoiding the tendencies of being nonassertive or aggressive. In trying to be assertive, however, keep in mind that too much of a good thing is bad. That is, the use of an assertive style can transform to an aggressive one if it is taken too far.
The purpose of this exercise is to provide you with feedback on the extent to which you use an assertive communication style. Go to www.queendom.com and do a search for "Assertiveness Test". (Note: Our use of this site is for instructional purposes only and does not constitute an endorsement of any products that may or may not suit your needs. There is no obligation to buy anything.). Choose the Assertiveness TestAbridged" and agree to the "personal purposes" clause and begin the test.
Complete the quick 10-item questionnaire and hit the scoring button. Read through the interpretation of your results. (Note: Queendom frequently updates its collection of tests, but the site always has good communication-related questionnaires such as the "Communication Skills Test." You may need to do some browsing, but it will be well worth the effort.)
