Journal #3
After taking the inventory my Mom received a high context score of 29 and a low context score of 38 with a difference of nine. I received a high context score of 32 and a low context score of 39 with a difference of seven. We are very similar in our low context scores and pretty similar in our high context scores. After discussing our results and what they mean, we decided that we definitely are more direct when talking and we aren't as likely to pick up on things like emotional tone or verbal cues.

There are still areas that can be improved and the squares can show areas where we can improve. For instance with my larger quadrant four, my mom has helped me figure out things that I didn't know about myself. Two years ago had know idea what I wanted to do, my quadrant four was pretty big. My mom helped me in figuring out what I wanted to do and that quadrant shrank. Overall the windows were a good discussion point and great for reflecting on our relationship and its
