Your Style Under Stress™ Results
Your Style Under Stress™ results indicate how likely you are to move toward silence (masking, avoiding, or withdrawing) or verbal violence (controlling, labeling, or attacking) during a Crucial Conversation.
Silence and verbal violence are two extremes on a communication spectrum, either of which can shut down dialogue, weaken relationships, and diminish results. Your score in each can range from 0 to 6. The lower your score, the better. The higher the score, the more likely you are to move to silence and/or violence. Notice which behaviors you resort to in crucial moments.
Awareness is the first step toward improvement. Action is the next step. You can improve your behavior and your results with the skills from the Crucial Conversations book and course.

Note that your answers might be different if you thought about a more challenging situation. If you score one or two, you may want to pay special attention to the corresponding chapters in the book, or consider attending a course.
