It's estimated that people screen out or change the intended purpose of what they hear in over 70% of all communications. The biggest factor contributing to such communication is our listening approach. Behavioral research shows that people listen with a preferred listening approach. The Personal Listening Profile research describes five listening approaches:

• Appreciative: listens in a relaxed manner, seeking enjoyment, entertainment or inspiration
• Empathic: listens without judging, is supportive of the speaker and learns from the experiences of others
• Comprehensive: listens to organize and make sense of information by understanding relationships among ideas
• Discerning: listens to get complete information, understand main message and determine important details
• Evaluative: listens in order to make a decision based on information provided and may accept or reject message based on personal beliefs
