The Conversationalist Quiz

Good communication is a necessary part of healthy relationships. All relationships (with friends, colleagues, relatives and life partners) rely on conversations to accomplish most communication. The Conversationalist Quiz measures your conversation skills.

Sharing and listening are keys to good conversations and to making relationships work. Good conversations that create mutual understanding are even better.

Begin by speaking with honesty, kindness, authenticity, and sometimes assertiveness. Take control over the words you choose. Choose carefully. The Conversationalist Quiz will give you indications about how to have better conversations and, as a result, better relationships.

The Conversationalist Quiz was given a interactive format and adapted from a quiz originally developed by Patricia Morgan.
