Which behaviour most clearly demonstrates a lack of active listening?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Interrupting and responding before the speaker has finished
Active listening requires attention, patience, and an effort to understand the complete message before responding. Interrupting and answering before the speaker finishes can cause important information to be missed and may make the speaker feel ignored. Restating, taking relevant notes, and maintaining suitable eye contact are generally signs that the listener is engaged.
