8 Types of Poor Listeners
Following are the 8 categories of poor listeners:
- Mind Readers - They always try to read the mind of their opponent while listening to them. They therefore will not concentrate on what is being told to them.
- Rehearsers - This type of listener is always rehearsing as to how to react when a person approaches them.
- Filterers - This type of listener always filters out the things from the conversation that benefit them.
- Dreamers - As dreamers, they never concentrate what is going on.
- Comparers - They always compare the things that have been told or explained to them with other things.
- Subject Changers - This type of people will always change your topic; if you want to discuss about 'x' they will take you to 'y'.
- Arguers - This type of listeners will always argue with you.
- Agreers - This type of people will agree to all whatever you say, hoping you'll leave them alone as soon as possible ("yes, yes, yes…")
