How can understanding communication styles benefit you?
If you’re like me, you work with groups of people all the time. Maybe you’re a manager; maybe you’re involved in a volunteer group; maybe you’re part of a sales team or a product development team. The reality is, most everyone works with at least one group or team on a regular basis.
If so, you may have wondered from time to time how your colleagues think. Do their minds process information the same way you do? Do they look at a report and see the same thing – and think of the same questions? When they hear about a problem, do they respond the same way you do?
Most of us don’t have the time or sophistication to understand how our colleagues think or make decisions. But imagine a tool that did that. How useful that would be!
The Straight Talk® Communication Styles Survey is that tool. A simple 32-question survey reveals your style. It’s called your “communication style,” but it’s more than how you communicate. It reveals how you listen, how you think, and the assumptions you make. It reveals insights into who you are and how you like to process information, how you relate and respond to people.
Straight Talk® also enables you to compare communication styles. You can invite other people to take the survey and see a description of how you relate. It enables you to set up teams and view profiles of your team’s communication. The system maps your place on a matrix of styles. It gives you tips on how to apply Straight Talk® and communicate more effectively.

“We use Straight Talk® to make up our study teams. We try to match people with different styles in order to expand our thinking and maximize our collective brainpower.”
