Which of the following is a constructive way to respond to criticism and get closer to the real concern?

A) Identifying the implied meaning of the verbal and non-verbal content of the criticism
B) Asking the critic to repeat the criticism in different words
C) Identifying your reactionary emotions to the verbal or non-verbal criticism
D) Restating the part of the criticism that is true and disagreeing with it

Identifying the implied meaning of the verbal and non-verbal content of the criticism can help you understand the real concern behind it. This can lead to a more constructive conversation and problem-solving. Asking the critic to repeat the criticism in different words or restating the part of the criticism that is true and disagreeing with it may not necessarily address the underlying concern. Identifying your reactionary emotions to the criticism can be helpful, but it alone may not lead to a productive conversation.
