Would your friends say you are a good listener?

[Hecktix]

I was filling out a job application earlier and it had one of those psychometric tests at the end and one of the questions said:

"Would your friends say you are a good listener?" and it got me thinking really, because I would say that I am a good listener and I'd hope my friends would say I'm a good listener but I'm not quite sure.

Do you think you are a good listener and would your friends agree?

[-:Undertaker:-]

I dont think my friends would agree, I think I do listen and analyse it but if I disagree i'll let it be known. In terms of on a personal level i'd say I do listen and would normally offer straightforward advice (which often isnt what people want in terms of 'what should I do?').

i think i'm a good listener, i don't know if my friends think i am though. they have told me i have a bad habit of like drifitng off when they're tlaking to me lmfao. i'd what's best being desrbied as getting distracted but from my side i'm still listening just not looking at them lol

[ihatehash]

i would say i am, but just like everything else would my friends? I don't know, I have the habit of changing conversational subjects a lot.

No. Because in real life I do not discuss personal affairs of any sort with any of my friends.

Hmmm, I think they would. I will listen to people because I care about them and my interest is of very high standard. Having said this, I am not the Agony Aunt (Uncle) so I'm normally just there to calm people down a bit or so they can vent out their problems.

When people have problems they usually come to me just so they have someone to vent to, so I guess so.

[Muct]

No lolol... Over the internet people tell me everything, but in real life I'm always the last to know everything.

[kuzkasate]

Yeah, ofc. Any problems, I'm always there & I always give them good advice.

no way
i can't stand weak people, probably why me and my friends get along so well. only time we say how we feel is after a few drinks.
when someone talks about a death or something i can't even say "sorry for you loss" it sounds so fake, i normally make a light hearted joke. i don't listen to people, i will honestly just walk away, too awkward to handle..:P

[Mathew]

Depends on the situation really. The majority of the time, I listen to it all and end up making a joke at the end of it. There's never really been any problems or circumstances where I've had to listen to someone, but I do get bored if someone just goes on and on, talking about themselves..

[Becca]

yeah, we always talk and listen.

I think i'm a good listener and i'm sure my friends think I am too!

[Inseriousity.]

Yeah I'm a good listener, if one of my friends wanted to just rant away, they normally come to me cos I tend not to interrupt them until they're done. :D

I think I am a good listener and I think my friends would agree too. In my job listening is a key skill required as I need to make a fast assessment based on what i'm told.
