8 Please read the following questions, and circle true or false I usually feel that I am making a favorable impression when I talk. I find it easy to talk with almost anyone. I find it very easy to look at my audience while speaking to a group. A person who is my teacher or my boss is hard to talk to. Even the idea of giving a talk in public makes me afraid. Some words are harder than others for me to say. I forget all about myself shortly after I begin to give a speech. I am a good mixer. People sometimes seem uncomfortable when I am talking to them. I dislike introducing one person to another. I often ask questions in group discussions. I find it easy to keep control of my voice when speaking. I do not mind speaking before a group. I do not talk well enough to do the kind of work I d really like to do. My speaking voice is rather pleasant and easy to listen to. I am sometimes embarrassed by the way I talk. I face most speaking situations with complete confidence. There are few people I can talk with easily. I talk better than I write. I often feel nervous while talking. I find it hard to make talk when I meet new people. I feel pretty confident about my speaking ability. I wish that I could say things as clearly as others do. Even though I know the right answer I have often failed to give it because I was afraid to speak out. University of Oregon Fluency Center Adult Intake Page 8 of 8
