Whats Your Conversation Style?

For 80% you are a Reserved Conversationalist! YouÂ’re an introverted, quiet person. YouÂ’re more at ease talking to friends or strangers one on one than in a large group. You may seem shy at first, but your good friends know thereÂ’s a lot to love below the surface, and you reward the people who take the time to know you well with a devoted, caring friendship. A natural listener, you often find your friends coming to you with their troubles, and youÂ’re more than happy to lend an ear. Your quiet ways can mean you sometimes keep your feelings to yourself so donÂ’t forget to take your turn and lean on your loved ones from time to time.

For 70 % you are: Outspoken Conversationalist! YouÂ’re an outgoing, sociable person. A natural story-teller, youÂ’re at ease entertaining friends with a funny joke or intriguing anecdote. You never have to worry about a lull in the conversation when youÂ’re around because youÂ’ve always got something interesting to say. You probably have a large group of friends who to look to you as a leader. You sometimes have a tendency to say too much so keep yourself in check, and make sure everyone at the table gets a chance to share the spotlight.

Everything except the red is really spot-on.

I think the duality here is because I am completely different depending on who I'm having a conversation with. Most of my friends say they thought I was very shy at first. Truth is when I first meet people, I feel that from the outside I look like a hare in front of a car, blinded by the light, with a face that depicts horror. On the other hand, when I'm comfortable with people (an by that I mean really really comfortable), I don't have any filter whatsoever, and if I get excited by an idea that came in the conversation, expect me to make endless monologues or pun after pun after pun until everybody tells me to stop because we're all crying of laughter (these are moments I cherish because I feel very social).

With people like acquaintances, who are in the middle, I just pretend to listen and smile (or react to whatever they're saying).

facilitating conversationalist and outspoken conversationalist were my highest. I think around my friends I'm more outspoken, around people I'm not as comfortable with I'm facilitating, but I feel like recently I've been more open around new people and letting my friends talk a bit more without me butting in.

Um, definitely not the last one. The other two make sense because with strangers or in formal situations I'm very reserved. But watch out! If I know you well, I can talk your ear off without realizing it.

The question 8 is nonsense to me. "Slightly awkward silences" don't exist to me. That's just another opportunity to breath deeper :sage:

A conversation with a loved one isn't an exam. The beauty of it is probably what they call in this test "awkward". I prefer a frank and honest silence to

a bullshit and inappropriate comment just to "fill up the blanks" for sure !

Yep. This fits best.

I'm not totally outspoken nor reserved it all just depends and varies but is usually more of a balanced mix. Most people I've talked to in life though end up too boring or overpowering about things I don't care about than I care to discuss unfortunately.
