Yes, I agree with my score. When listening to someone speak I often find myself struggling to pay attention and stay engaged when the topic or conversation doesn 't interest me. However when saying this I’m not suggesting this happens with every conversation. For example, when listening in lectures or presentations I often find myself day dreaming or “zoning out”.

While I was observing the girls, it became obvious that they were friends catching up on the latest gossip. Nonetheless, the meeting was casual but relaxed. The two girls…
