What’s New

Analytical Listening
It is an ability and a capacity to properly analyze what is being said. This does not
only mean understanding what the other person is saying and what they mean to
say, but this also means being able to divide difficult questions into separate parts
to get to the core. It sounds easier than it is. Distinguishing between central and
peripheral issues is a pre-requisite. Apart from this, common listening techniques
help. The objective of Analytical Listening is to quickly see logical connections, as
well as detecting possible gaps in all the information.

6
LSD Technique

This is definitely useful when it comes to Analytical Listening. It stands for

Listening, Summarizing and Digging Deeper. Listening is actually hearing what the
other is saying. This means full concentration on the other’s story is needed, as
well as a thorough sinking in of the information. Briefly summarizing what the
other is saying is usually enough to get the meaning of what one is saying.
Moreover, it causes the other to feel like they are being heard and able to offer
additions if the summary is (not) yet complete. By giving a short summary, the
listener gives themselves time to let the information sink in and understand what
they just heard. This is followed by digging deeper to get down to the core.

Audio Productions

Analytical Listening is originally a way of listening to audio productions, where the

meaning of the sounds is interpreted correctly by the listener. It is often used by
professionals working on audio productions. Analytical listening is when a listener
is actively engaged with the music they are listening to, where each element of a
piece of music is analyzed to understand the intentions of the composer and/or
lyricist. During analytical listening, the listener looks for the deeper meaning of
what is heard. Sound itself has no meaning; it is about the underlying layer. When
someone says something, it is not just about the content. It is especially the way
they say it that gives meaning to the words. This intonation also applies in music.
The underlying emotional implications of a musical performance indicate the
composer’s meaning and intentions. Music is more than simply a mix of sounds.
The composer and/or lyricist is always trying to convey a meaning or emotion, such
as happiness, sadness anger or love.

Analytical Capacity
Analytical ability is very useful in many other occupations as well. Think of
leadership roles, technical occupations, and the medical world, where it comes
down to making many analyses. Analytical listening means looking at differences,
possible risks, and the things that make no sense. By analyzing these, the cause of
the problem becomes clear. Addressing these will make the information clearer for
both parties. In some cases, the analytical listener will cause the other to feel
annoyed. The other may feel “caught” regarding the fact that they did not provide
complete information. By supporting and encouraging them, both parties will find
common ground again.
Analytical capacity is a trait that applies to the analytical listener. This analytical
ability is a quality that usually goes hand in hand with other abilities one has, such
as empathic capacity, inquisitiveness, curiosity, desire to learn, being critical and
open – minded. Analytical capacity is a mixture of all these traits and abilities.

Pitfalls of Analytical Listening

Apart from the power of analytical listening, there are also several pitfalls. For
example, those who are strongly analytically minded and capable of good analytical
thought tend to think things through too much and hesitate too much before coming
up with a final judgment. Because of their analytical capacity, such a person will first
go over all the options, weigh them, and closely examine all the pros and cons before
making a choice. The indecisiveness this brings may be experienced by their
environment as highly annoying.

The previously mentioned danger that the conversation partner will feel attacked is
also a potential issue. This is because the analytical listener asks a lot of questions,
which can make them, seem distrustful towards their conversation partner. Besides
deeper questions, the analytical listener will ask many “why” questions, which people
will often not be able to answer. The tip is to look for the answers together and not put
the other on the spot. That could be felt as a negative confrontation, which stalls the
conversation and could make it take a different turn.

Analytical Listening and Decision Making

Analytical listening forms one of the foundations of good decision making. Listening
thoroughly and analytically makes it easier to reconstruct a situation and find a
solution rationally. This will then lead to optimal decisions especially when it comes to
decision making. Analytical listening is a large part of a leadership skill set. Complex
problems are more easily understood, meaning a better prediction can be made as to
which solution or method would be best. Analytical listening can therefore contribute
to all kinds of business roles that call for good planning and decision making.

Analytical Listening and Problem Solving

Analytical listening helps bring balance to a conversation and process information

objectively. In conversations with others, feelings play an important role. When the
atmosphere of the conversation is good, chances are, objectivity will disappear into the
background. Being mindful of this allows for a balance to be created between feeling
and logical reasoning. Analyses of causes can be made, after which the consequences

of a problem and applying models to them. By distinguishing main problems from
partial problems, the analytic listener can collect a lot of information, and then
research it. After collecting all the data, the analytical listener will be highly able to
make logical connections, detect the actual cause, and think of fitting solutions.

What’s New

Most people take listening for granted. They think it is something that just
happens. It is only when you stop to think about listening and what it entails
that you begin to realize that listening is in fact an important skill that needs to
be enhanced and developed.

General Listening Types:

 Discriminative Listening

It is first developed at a very early age – perhaps even before birth, in the most
basic form of listening and does not involve the understanding of the meaning of
words or different sounds that are produced in early childhood. For example, a
distinction is made between voices of the parents – the voice of the father sounds
different to that of the mother.

It is developed from childhood to adulthood. As we grow older and develop our life
experiences, our ability to distinguish between different sounds is improved. Not
only we can recognize different voices, but we also develop the ability to recognize
subtle differences in the way that sounds are made – this is fundamental to
ultimately understand what these sounds mean. Differences include many
subtleties, recognizing foreign languages, distinguishing between regional accents
and clues to the emotions and feelings of the speaker.
Example:
Imagine yourself surrounded by people who are speaking a language
that you cannot understand. It is like being in an airport in another country.
You can probably distinguish between different voices, male and female,
young, and old and gain some understanding about what is going on around
you based on the tone of voice, mannerisms, and body language of the other

11
 people. You are do not understand what is being said but you are using
discriminative listening to gain some level of comprehension of your
surroundings.

 Comprehensive Listening

It involves understanding the messages that are being communicated. Like

discriminative listening, comprehensive listening is fundamental to all listening
types.
To use comprehensive listening, one needs appropriate vocabulary and language
skills. Using overly complicated language or technical jargon can be a barrier to
comprehensive listening. It is further complicated by the fact that two different
people listening to the same thing may understand the message in two different
ways. This problem can be multiplied in a group setting, like a classroom or
business meeting where numerous different meanings can be derived from what
has been said.

DAY 4
