Good afternoon,

I completed the self$-$assessment $9\mathrm{.}1$: The Socio$-$Communicative Orientation$/$Style Instrument, and my score for assertiveness was $57,$ while my score for responsiveness was $36.$ I wasn$$t surprised to see that I scored higher on assertiveness, as I tend to come across strongly, even though I don$$t always intend to$.$

In terms of multicultural communication, this result shows that assertiveness can be a strength when dealing with certain cultures that value directness and confidence. However, the lower score in responsiveness highlights a need to improve in adapting my communication style, especially in cultures that prioritize empathy, listening, and indirect communication. Balancing these two aspects would help me become more effective in navigating diverse cultural interactions.

Respond to post.
