Men and women in business can be equal in almost every way: position, experience, expertise, professional experience, educational background, and intelligence. Despite these similarities, chances are men and women can be very different in one critical area: the way in which they communicate. It's not that an inherently male or female way of communication is better or more correct; the styles are just different. Understanding the inherent communication differences between men and women will help you to enhance your ability to communicate successfully with others, and to hear, interpret and comprehend others' messages without judgment.

To test your gender communications savvy, take the following quiz. Read over each of the questions and indicate, by checking the appropriate box, whether you believe the answer is "men" (symbol in the left column) or "women" (symbol in the right column). In each case the research has clearly shown that one gender or the other displays the characteristics described more often than the other gender does.
