Now you have completed the self-assessment, add up your total score and check your performance by reading the corresponding evaluation. Whatever level of success you have achieved when communicating, it is important to remember that there is always room for improvement. Identify your weakest areas and try to work upon for improvement.
25-50: You are not communicating effectively or enough. Listen to feedback, and try to learn from your mistakes.
51-75: Your communications performance is patchy. Plan to improve your weaknesses.
76—100: You communicate extremely well. But remember that you can never communicate too much.
