Personal Listening Profile
The Personal Listening Profile is a learning tool that helps individuals identify and understand which of the five listening approaches they
use to experience, process, organize, store, and retrieve information.
It is useful in a variety of applications, including customer service, presentation skills, conflict resolution, and team-building.
Discover the Impact of Five Listening Approaches
It is estimated that people screen out or change the intended purpose of what they hear in over 70% of all communications. The biggest factor
contributing to such miscommunication is our listening approach. Behavioral research shows that people listen with a preferred listening
approach. The Personal Listening Profile research describes 5 listening approaches:
| | |
Appreciative: listens in a relaxed manner, seeking enjoyment, entertainment or inspiration |
| | |
Empathic: listens without judging, is supportive of speaker and learns from the experiences of others |
| | |
Comprehensive: listens to organize and make sense of information by understanding relationships among ideas |
| | |
Discerning: listens to get complete information, understand main message and determine important details |
| | |
Evaluative: listens in order to make a decision based on information provided and may accept or reject message based on
personal beliefs |
Reduced uncertainty. Greater clarity. Increased productivity.
