This workshop focused on self-rating personal and social values on a 1-10 scale. An example rating was direct versus indirect communication style. After rating our cultures and selves, we shared and compared the results.
My group included one student from Saudi Arabia, Abdulraman, and one student from Colombia, Eduardo. Using the direct/indirect rating, I placed the U.S. as a 7 for more indirect and myself as a 4 as more direct in communication style. Eduardo rated Colombians as a moderate 6 and himself as more direct with a 4. Abdulraman rated Saudis as very direct and himself as very direct both with a rating of 1. However, he noted a distinct gender difference of females being very indirect while males are very direct.
Overall, this workshop was more structured with less time to stray from the activity than previous workshops.
