2.) Which type of listening—informational, critical, empathic—do you engage in most often? Which type do you enjoy the most? Why?

The type of listening that I engage most in is the informational listening. I prefer this style because I like to obtain facts and informations before taking any decision. I like to know about a topic and then take decisions. It is useful to be completely informed about a topic as information makes the mind clear and imparts critical thinking. I enjoy this type the most. This is because, empathetic listening stimulates emotions and emotions interfere with the clear thinking ability of a person. Hence, I prefer informational listening.
