This assignment is based on personality and communication. This assignment discusses my personality type through self reflection and working style. I also will be discussing key communication techniques I use throughout my life. As well as my communication style.

There are two important aspects when determine ones style and personality, emotional expressiveness, and assertiveness. My perceptions of emotional expressiveness in my personality include, speaking quickly, using short amounts of eye contact, using hand gestures, and tone of voice. I tend to speak quickly when I talk to others. I speak faster when I am anxious, nervous, or angry. I do this because I am not comfortable and flustered. A problem I face is that my brain is working faster than my way of communication in both speech and writing. My brain is already thinking of words in advance before I am finished what I am trying to say or write. I am conscious that I speak quickly and usually catch myself in the act. I try to slow down and speak clearly. I also can be over bearing when trying to express a point or how I feel. I am usually emotionally reserved and quiet.

When working with someone who is upset I try to stay quiet and hope they resolve it on their own. When it comes to assertiveness I am reserved when around new people. It takes me a while to become comfortable. I am an
