Test – von Thun’s communicative ears

Von Thun’s Communication Ears Test

Check which level of communication your ear is particularly sensitive to.

Put yourself in the role of an employee, daughter, boyfriend, husband, and hostess.

Circle the answer that is most consistent with you (the one you would give).

1. The director asks the employee who is getting dressed: – Are you leaving?

2. A mother says to her daughter who has made herself a sandwich: – That sandwich has 500 calories.

3. A boy invites a girl to the cinema over the phone. The girl says: – How long will this movie be?

4. A wife, entering the house, says to her husband: – I’m exhausted today.

5. A hostess offers a guest coffee. The guest replies: – I never drink coffee this late.
