WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Communication Style Assessment Test

communication style

This measure is designed to characterize an individual’s typical interpersonal responses across common social situations. The Communication Style Assessment provides a brief, structured self-report snapshot of communication tendencies such as assertiveness, receptivity to feedback, help-seeking, limit-setting, and supportive responding.

The instrument includes 20 items and is typically completed in about 4 minutes. Results are generally used to inform clinical or educational discussions about interpersonal strengths and areas for skill development rather than to establish a diagnosis.

As described by Paul Watzlawick, the Communication Style Assessment can support initial case formulation and guide targeted intervention planning when communication patterns are a focus of assessment.
