"I do not lean one way or another when it comes to verbal or written communication. Both are equally important to me. If I have to choose just one, I will choose written communication as one can always look back on written communication for reference."

"I like to leverage both methods of communications when dealing with business. Sometimes, situations call for verbal communications and other times, written. As a rule of thumb, I tend to practice verbal communications, with written follow up or vice versa. Utilizing multiple methods creates repetition and therefore, change."

"I prefer verbal communication because I feel that with written communication, a lot can be misread due to lack of tone, fluctuation, expression and body language. I will always choose a face to face conversation whenever possible."

Communication is essential in the work environment, and both are equally important. However, I prefer verbal communication because I enjoy face-to-face interactions. I can read body language and gain a sense of tone and expressions. Plus, written communication can be misunderstood, though it is a good strategy for documenting a conversation.

Your answer has a lot of balance, which is great! It sounds as though you are a very thoughtful communicator, and I like the fact that you provided some examples of when each form of communication is most beneficial.
