This is a self-scoring 18-question instrument, which measures four modes of receiving verbal information: Receptive Listening, Consensus-based Listening, Exploratory Listening, & Action Listening.

Given its self-scoring nature, this assessment will help individuals or teams develop greater awareness of the components of active and empathic listening.  Used in tandem with a debrief or as a discussion starter, it may also create awareness of others' listening skills or help trigger empathy.
