The Communication Quiz

Test Your Communication Skills Knowledge

Communication is one of the most important skills that you need to succeed in the workplace.

If you want to be an expert communicator, you need to be effective at all points in the communication process – from “sender” through to “receiver” – and you must be comfortable with the different channels of communication – face-to-face, online, written, etc.

This is because poor communicators often struggle to develop their careers beyond a certain point. So, how can you find out how good your communication skills really are? Take this quiz to find out.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

  • Take this self-assessment to find out where your communication skills are strong, and what areas you need to develop.
  • By learning the skills you need to communicate effectively, you can get your ideas across clearly and effectively, and understand much more of the information that’s conveyed to you.
  • Whether you’re a speaker, a listener, a writer, or a reader, you are responsible for making sure that messages are communicated accurately.
  • Pay attention to words and actions, ask questions, and watch body language. These will all help to ensure that you say what you mean, and hear what is intended.

This assessment has not been validated and is intended for illustrative purposes only. It is just one of many that help you evaluate your abilities in a wide range of important career skills.

Please answer questions as you actually are (rather than how you think you should be).
