DIFFERENT communication STYLES

Inspired by one article during intercultural communication I wanted to summarize this article which i found quite interesting, because it shows influence of many details which have an impact on our interpersonal communication and which we often are not aware, don't care or in other case we can't see them.

Everyone have different style of communication, so, choose yours:

LINEAR- when you speaks precisely and quickly, with logic; people who are circular type might be tiring for you because of their verbosity

advice: be patient, KEEP CALM AND LISTEN

CIRCULAR- when you don't give a point and you give a context to your interlocutor (in other words you don't speak precisely ^^), you speak a lot and long; persons of type linear might be for you too simple and too laconic

advice: ask questions if you can't keep up, try to be more precise

DIRECT- you precise what do you mean exactly, without the context, you seems to be honest and true; persons of indirect type might seem to you as unfair and their behavior seem as they wrap around the bush

advice: try to see beyond the line, consider the metaphorical meaning of words

INDIRECT- you like metaphors and silence, you can be perceived as insincere; direct type might be for you too stolid and unjust

advice: do not feel attacked by direct style, think more about how much your opposite style appreciate direct communication, try to use less metaphores to not make direct style to feel lost in your divagations, just say what you think, without wondering about too much :)

EMOTIONAL- you express your emotions, positive or negative, you don't care, by emotions you feel connected with other people; stolid type is too stolid for you ^^ and chilly, without emotions and interest

advice: ?

STOLID-  you keep your feelings, emotions inside of you, you don't speak them loud; you can perceive emotional type as immature and infantile, without respect for others

advice: ?

CONCRETE- you give examples from real stories, this is your base for abstraction theories, you percieve abstract type as detached from reality and too vague

advice: ?

ABSTRACT/DISCRETE- you love theories, concepts and abstraction, it helps you to understand reality; you percieve concret type as too personal and sophisticated

advice: ?

What type are you? 

Do you agree with these types? 

Any ideas or advices for other communication styles? 

What do you think about it?
