My strengths are a factor in my note taking and listening skills. The biggest strength factor is definitely ideation. This is because when im taking notes or listening I find that i do a lot better if I am interested in the subject matter. Ideation plays a role when I am listening to something I really enjoy because I would be more inclined to do so and be engaged the whole time. I feel like I am mostly a good listener, it might vary depending on the situation. If I'm trying to listen to something that interests me or to a person I like or care about I do a better job at it. When the speaker is boring or if I don't care about the subject is when I get easily distracted. If it's when im taking notes in class I start to just stare off into space or start doodling. When im talking to someone one on one I would seem like im listening but I would not be fully engaged. During conversation i feel like im more of a talker. I find myself speaking a lot more than the person im talking to. There will be sometimes where I like to listen but mostly i would be the one talking.
