Last post was about the three ways that people use to communicate, Visual, Auditory and Kenesthetic, and how some use a mix of these. I explained that if you could identify what words were being spoken you could use that same category of words to ensure you were better understood.
Here are a few more words to listen for and use in each category:
Visual Words - Appear, bare, behold, blind, bug-eyed, clear, dark, dawn, depth, eyesore, facet, focus, gleam, glint, golden, hairy, hazy, illusions, image, insight, looker, mirage, peek, peer, picture, spotlight, see, shine, shadow, tunnel vision, transparent, unsightly, vague, veiled and wink.
Auditory Words - Argue, articulate, blabbermouth, carp, chatter, cry, call, clam-up deaf, echo, earful, emit, fanfare, fiddle, gab, groan, harmonize, hush, joke, hear, listen, language, mutter, murmur, moan, nag, oracle, oratory, prattle, quiet, rattle, speak, scold, sign, sing, story, tone, tune, thunder, vocal, whine, yelp.
Kinesthetic Words - Absorb, abrasive, anxiety, belt, bruise, cold, callous, caress, come to blows, chip, close, depression, dig, dribble, exert, force, flow, fidget, gentle, grab, gather, hug, hurt, heavy, intense, itch, jerk, kick, knock, lick, light, loose, move, nibble, oppressive, pressure, punch, painful, pinch, push, relax, rise, rub, save, sense, shift, soft, support, struggle, seize, squeeze, skate, sting, slap, snuggle, touch, tight, tickle, texture, unwind, vibrate, wince, wrestle, yank..
Remember that even though most people are Kinesthetic even they use others words at times. It is the main type of words a person uses that will be important. It is better to be partly understood than not at all so keep practicing and have some fun. You will begin to notice people paying closer attention when you speak to them. People like people who are like themselves.
