 Analytical Listening 

        -Analytical Listening is about the ability and the capacity to properly analyze what is being said. This not  only means understanding what the other person is saying and what they mean to say, but also being able to  divide difficult questions into separate parts to get to the core.

         -Analytical listening is all about feeling and meaning. Sound gives us meaning and perspective in our  lives. For example, someone talking to you can say hello. On the surface it seems friendly, but the way they  say hello to you can convey a lot of different meanings.

 Appreciative Listening 

            -listening for pleasure and enjoyment, as when we listen to music, to a comedy routine, or to an entertaining speech; it also describes how well speakers choose and use words, use humor, ask questions, tell stories, and argue persuasively

 Emphatic Listening 

            -listening to provide emotional support for the speaker, as when a psychiatrist listens  to a patient or when we lend a sympathetic ear to a friend; focuses on understanding and identifying with  a person’s situation, feelings, or motives -there is an attempt to understand what the other person is  feeling-listener does not necessarily agree or feel the same way with the speaker .

 Comprehensive/ Active Listening 

            -listening to understand the message of a speaker, as when we  attend a classroom lecture or listen to directions for finding a friend’s house; focuses on accurately  understanding the meaning of the speaker’s words while simultaneously interpreting non-verbal cues  such as facial expressions, gestures, posture, and vocal quality.

 Critical/ Analytical Listening 

            -listening to evaluate a message for purposes of accepting or rejecting it,  as when we listen to the sales pitch of a used-car dealer or the campaign speech of a political candidate  and focuses on evaluating whether a message is logical and reasonable
