Overall my husband and friend views me very closely to the way I view myself. The main difference was in my husband sees me as more verbally aggressive than I see myself. I will agree that I am slightly more aggressive than I had been in my younger years. However throughout life I have made a conscience effort to maintain a positive outlook, treat people respectfully, and avoid confrontation. I will continue to aim to be a non-confrontational person who others can respect and want to be around.
On the Communication Anxiety Inventory scale, I rank myself as low while others rank me as mild.
On the Listening Styles Profile scale, my husband, friend, and myself all score me similarly in Group 1 as a people-oriented listener.
On the Verbal Aggressiveness Scale, my friend and I scored me at a moderate level while my husband scored me as significant.
