I Have An Awesome Way With Words. Sometimes A Quick Stutter, Pronouncing Sounds Funny, Funny Voices And The Like Can Swing Someone To Your Way Of Thinking. Although That Wont Work In Wars. When Negotiating With Someone, I Can Stay As Long As It Takes, And I Will Eventually Win. So, My Question To You Is....

Can You Negotiate/Do You Have A Way With Words?

With words, yes. I don't like to argue because I'm pretty passive, but I can debate intellectually and can be a little stubborn if it's facts not feelings. I also write better than I speak.

Yes, because i won't even try unless I know I'm right, logically. I can be very convincing.

I am good with words, both verbal and written. I have offered to write letters for people who are having problems with something and need to advocate for themselves.

Yup, i value truth over most things. :o I don't appreciate liars and ignorant people -.- I will "nicely" try to educate them, which sometimes get on their nerves more than anything. ^^;

I voted "other (good way)".
I have a way with words that makes me a good debator, but I'm terrible at negotiating.

Same here, i dont enter into verbal debate unless I know the position.

I am also really good at speeches and speaking to crowds. I feel completely comfortable at a podium or in front of a class, always have. I've had a few people tell me i'd make a great teacher or professor, good lecturer. But in one on one conversation I usually sound dumb, fumble through my words and get lost in sentences.

Ditto. I am great at debating but very bad at hostile confrontations.
