I'm going to memory this post -- I've been in a few places lately, where I've fallen into the trap of 3 and 4, not really getting what is wanted/needed on the speaker's part, but knowing that the sort of attention the speaker has been getting has not been good for them -- 1 and 2.
It's really interesting to see this broken down, in a situation where I am not involved and can be objective. It's definitely given me something to think about it.
