Inside & Outside Generative Communication
Thank you for taking the quiz! You are well on your way to practicing Generative Communication.
QUESTION 1
TRUE or FALSE? Your inside communication is the communication you have with other people.
ANSWER: False. Your inside communication is the communication you have inside your head and heart.
QUESTION 2
TRUE or FALSE? People can invariably figure out your inside communication by how you speak and act on the outside.
ANSWER: False. No one knows your inside communication, but people often make assumptions about your integrity, values, and credibility based on your words, nonverbal cues, and actions.
QUESTION 3
TRUE or FALSE? Practicing Generative Communication requires you to focus on one dimension—your present-moment interaction with another person(s).
ANSWER: False. Generative Communication is multidimensional including your internal conversations (thinking), your interactions with one person or several people via words/statements, spoken or written, your nonverbal cues (often unconscious), and your actions. There are even more dimensions, but this is a good start.
QUESTION 4
TRUE or FALSE? You can communicate generatively if you’ve never heard of “inside-out” communication!
