Glad We Talked®

How I Connect · How I’m Wired

How you communicate and spend time with other people, and what feels natural and enjoyable for you.

13 statements, about 4 minutes. For each one, pick “That’s me”, “Sometimes” or “Not really”. Free, and not a diagnosis. At the end you get feedback in words: your strengths, what can feel harder, what helps you and ideas to try.

Strengths

  • I’m a loyal and honest friend.
  • I connect well with people who share my interests.
  • I’m good company one to one.

What can feel harder

  • Small talk feels hard or pointless.
  • I’m not always sure when it’s my turn to speak.
  • I sometimes miss what people mean when they hint rather than say it.
  • Group conversations wear me out.
  • Phone calls feel harder than messages.

What helps

  • Messaging rather than calling.
  • People saying what they mean directly.
  • Doing an activity together rather than just talking.
  • Knowing who will be there and what will happen.
  • Time alone to recharge after being with people.
