In fact, my result is 13 ‘correct answers out of 20. Undoubtedly, any test is a set of subjective assessments, methods, and rules, and only a highly qualified specialist can give an accurate and reliable description of a person’s competencies. Anyway, ‘How Good Are Your Listening Skills?’ is a clear, relevant, and fair test. Comments on my result are given in a detailed form, which demonstrates my knowledge and skills regarding ‘listening to interlocutors.’ In addition, they also provide valuable tips and solutions on how to communicate productively, and how to avoid embarrassments and misunderstandings in interacting with people.
