ICF Competency 6 ("Listens Actively") involves "focusing fully on what the client is saying and not saying, understanding the meaning in context," including verbal and non-verbal cues like tone and body language. Let’s evaluate:
A. Basic: This implies minimal engagement, not attending to multiple cues (below Competency 6).
B. Attentive: This suggests focus but lacks the depth of interpreting body language and tone (less than Competency 6).
C. Active: This matches Competency 6, encompassing words, tone, and body language simultaneously.
D. Explorative: This aligns more with questioning (Competency 7), not listening.
Option C is the type of listening described, per ICF’s definition of active listening.
