Adjustments Perceptual Style™ and Communication
Communicating with Thoughtful Precision
Communication is the fundamental action that brings people together — or pushes them apart.
We all want to be understood. We search for the right words, the right tone, and the right approach. But often, what we mean isn’t what others hear, and what others hear isn’t always what we meant.
That’s not because you or the other person isn’t smart or trying hard enough. It’s because the words you choose, the meaning you intend, and the triggers you hear are shaped by your Adjustments Perceptual Style.
What Makes Adjustments Communication Unique
With the Adjustments Perceptual Style,communication is intentional, precise, and deeply considered. Whether writing or speaking, you take care with your words — not to impress, but to ensure clarity, accuracy, and meaning.
You shine in communication when you can:
-
Choose your words thoughtfully, delivering messages with clarity and deliberate intent.
-
Use language with nuance and structure, expressing deeper meaning through well-crafted phrasing.
-
Listen with patience and focus, absorbing both the literal and symbolic meaning behind what’s said.
-
Organize your ideas logically, guiding others through information in a structured, easy-to-follow progression.
For you, communication is about creating understanding — one carefully chosen word at a time.
Where Communication Can Break Down
Even with your natural communication strengths, there are times when connection feels out of reach. That disconnect often arises when your Adjustments Perceptual Stylecommunication is in motion, but you're not tuned in to potential misalignment:
-
You may over-edit or overthink, striving for precision at the expense of clarity and ease.
-
You may feel frustrated when others gloss over details or use language imprecisely.
-
You may disengage when faced with vague generalizations or overly casual conversation.
These aren’t flaws — they’re just natural aspects of your style. With awareness, they become opportunities to enhance connection and deepen understanding.
