Part 1 — Perception Analysis

To what extent do you use the types of expressions or statements listed below when communicating with people? You may not use all the statements in each question, in which case, using the scoring scale, indicate how often you use the remaining expressions. The exact wording may not be used. Look at the meaning of the statement rather than the exact wording.

1. The trouble with you is … Never! You shouldn't have … Don't do that! I have told you a million times …
2. Don't worry. It will be all right. Please be careful. Can I help you?
3. What happened? Why do you think so? Who was involved? What is the position now? Is everything all right?
4. Wow! Come on, let's do it! Fantastic! Unreal! Fabulous!
5. I'm scared. I'd rather not talk about it. I'd like to leave. I can't handle it anymore. No one cares. (Silence)
6. I don't care. I've had enough! Who the *&@#$ do you think you are? Take it or leave it. (Use of profanity in any situation)
7. That's ridiculous. Don't be stupid. What's wrong with you? If you can't do it right, don't do it at all. What did I tell you?
8. Isn't that terrible! That's marvelous! Well done! Aren't you proud! Nice going!
9. I need to get more information. Maybe you can help? I think that's the answer. This is how I feel. I understand your point of view.
10. Didn't I do well? Look at me! I love it! We sure make a great team! We've got to do this again.
11. I'm sorry. Please don't leave me alone. I didn't mean to upset you. I couldn't help it.
12. Over my dead body! I won't! That's what you think! You've got a big mouth! Mind your own business.
