1PERSONAL ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNICATION
Step One: Identify an Exemplary Person
My twin sister is one person in my life who is an inspiration in terms of interpersonal
communication. She is a person who is so vocal about her thoughts and her actions are a clear
reciprocation of what she is thinking. One positive feature that she has from a very young age is
that she is very articulate in nature, which makes it easy for her to make people understand what
she is thinking or going through. She is also very good at framing her feelings in a proper way
through the right medium (Parks, Malcolm and Meara). For example: she knows when to meet
and talk face to face rather than leaving a text message. She is not very fond of texting important
things as she believes that through messages one cannot expresses the feeling associated with it.
Once she had mentioned that she does not like to raise her voice as she believes that if someone
finds her important or special enough they will listen without increasing the volume of her voice.
I admire the way she can easily explain complicated situation, where as I also noticed that she
sometimes communicates on the need to know basis (Petrovici, Amalia and Tatiana).

Step Two: Evaluate How Competent You Are With Others
Roles How I Am Perceived How I Would Like to Be
Perceived
Daughter I am perceived to be a very
introvert and my parents
are most of the time
worried that I am not
speaking my heart out to
them.
I would like my parents to
know that I am a happy
person and they would be
the first ones to know if I
ever have a problem that I
cannot solve on my own.
Sister My sister knows that I
share every little details of
my life with her and she is
one of the support systems
of my life.
I love talking to her and
sharing my views and
problems with her at the
end of the day makes me
feel relaxed and clam.
Girlfriend My boyfriend knows that if
I am texting him, instead
of calling then the situation
or the problem is serious
and he is in serious trouble.
It is difficult for me to
express how I feel but it is
I would like him to
understand that I
communicate with him as
much as I can.

perceive me as a student
who will come forward if I
have an issue with my
academic or my career
decision (Suhaimi et al.).
Step Three: Identify Possible Areas of Growth

4PERSONAL ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNICATION
In the sector of interpersonal communication I have several areas of growth. One of my
biggest challenges is that I lose concentration after a point of time. If I don’t listen to others it is
evident others will not listen to me and hence I would like to grow my concentration level in
listening to people.
One of the brand new ways of communication is the usage of emojies while texting. It is
very important to be able to make one person understand the tone, feeling and emotion attached
to a particular message which is informal in nature to be able to do that emojies are invented. I
think that I lack in the understanding of these emojies and usually use wrong emoji in wrong
place. I have encountered several issues because of this confusion (Wood, Clare, et al.).
