Effective listening leads to effective communication Unfortunately, not all people are good listeners. In fact, there are only very few people who have mastered the art of effective listening. In this lesson, we will identify the four common types of listeners whom we often encounter in our daily lives. Swipe through each page to learn about the different listening type, and reflect on what you've experienced as either the listener or the speaker.

Pretend Listeners Pretend listeners follow along with the conversation and may even give pretend acknowledgement (“I understand”), but are fully distracted by something else. It could be background activity, their phone, or even their own thoughts and ideas. You might be able to spot a pretend listener if you notice a blank stare or impatient body language.

Selective Listeners Selective listeners interrupt the conversation before the speaker has finished. When they believe they have understood the gist of what the speaker is saying, they jump in with their own thoughts and ideas, or become disengaged with the conversation. Sometimes the listener grabs an idea from the conversation and changes the topic so the conversation is now about their own thoughts.

Critical Listeners Critical listeners understand the words spoken by the speaker, but don’t actually understand the speaker. They don’t use empathy to understand their perspective and instead, make judgements based on their own personal feelings and experience - often before the speaker has even finished talking.

Active Listeners Active listening is when we give full attention to the speaker and focus on understanding their perspective. Doing so means that we’re in a better position to respond or help that person with what they actually need.
