Find your own communication style....

Fellow campers, how is your day in the camp? We still committed to ‘watch’ our communications manner in Say No Evil Boot Camp. Hope you have built a new habit of no lies, no flowery speech and no harsh speech!

Below I got a game in regards of our communication style… this game is a Kokology. How to play it? You only have to read the statement, and answer the question that come first in your mind. Don’t think too long… the spontaneous will lead us the more accurate assessment.

Let's do it...!

A Painting in a Museum

Once in a while it is good for us to pause for a moment from our tight schedules and enjoy the art right from its place. Some of us go to a music concert, some dance or play music instruments, and the other make handy crafts… how about going to the museum…?

Now you stand in front of a painting in the art museum, with your arms behind your back you try to enjoy the painting. Suddenly a stranger approaches you and says something to you. What does he say?

1. It’s a beautiful painting, isn’t it?
2. What’s your opinion of this painting?
3. Sorry, do you have time?
4. Do you know, I also a painter/ an artist.

---------that's the end-------- decide your answer now, the first one that come across your mind------

The keys:

When a stranger suddenly talk to you, there’s always a sympathy and hope. In this scenario, what the stranger says to you is actually describe how you will react when you meet somebody. The answer portrays what kind of impression you make when you meet someone for the first time.

1. It’s a beautiful painting, isn’t it?
   

A natural friendly attitude creates a good first impression in every person you have met. The only nervousness is when other do not respond seriously to you for the first time.

2. What’s your opinion of this painting?
   

You are a type of person who likes to guess other’s temperament before you do something. Other can feel that hesitation. May be it will affect their reactions towards you. You will not offend other people with your cautious approach but may be in the end you will live in such conditions that was set by others.

3. Sorry, do you have time?
   

Half of your world seems to be normal, but the other half seems to be a little bit weird. You create a first impression that you live in your own path and retain an individualism that is eccentric for some people. You don’t really care what others may think or feel. Like it or not, it is your mystery.

4. Do you know, I also a painter/ an artist.
   

When you meet someone for the first time, you will be a little bit nervous and awkward. May be you only try too hard to be liked. But the harder you try, the worse impression you have made. Don’t be too worry to make others think you are great. You don’t need to make a flowery speech to impress others. They will like you more if you are relax and not strained.
