This document outlines several poor listening styles: spacing out when dozing off or daydreaming; pretend listening where one appears to listen but does not; selective listening where the focus is only on oneself; word listening where hearing a single word triggers listing; self-centered listening where attention is only paid to topics about oneself. Other poor styles include judging others based on actions, advising others without being asked, and probing others with excessive questions.
