How do you typically react when someone disagrees with you?

Solution

When someone disagrees with you, the best way to handle the situation is to listen and try to understand their perspective. Option a) is the correct answer. This approach can help you learn from their perspective and may lead to a more productive conversation. Getting defensive and arguing your point (option b) often leads to an unproductive argument. Avoiding the disagreement altogether (option c) does not address the issue at hand and may cause the problem to persist. Insisting that your opinion is the correct one (option d) can be counterproductive and can make it difficult to find common ground.
