Perception Checking
Improving Your Skills
![IDevice Icon](icon_activity.gif)
Some REALLY important considerations when delivering a perception check:
- Nonverbal congruency: Be certain that the way you approach the person and the way you say your thoughts are in no way accusing the person of anything.
- Make sure you complete all three steps in order. Form a perception based on clues, consider two possible causes, ask why the person is behaving as he or she is.
- Appropriateness: consider the cultural rules of the situation as well as if you are choosing the most appropriate time and setting to perform this skill.
