A Listening Styles Profile of the Type-A Personality

Exploring the Relationship Between Listening Style and Need for Cognition

For example, Time listeners evidence a preference for "hurried interactions" (Sargent et al, 1997), often indicating to others the time they have available to listen to them.

This is why much of the conversations with time listeners appear rushed and distant (Sargent, Fitch-Hauser, & Weaver, 1997).
