                 MUTTER TR


NAME: Mutter TR.

PURPOSE: To perfect muzzled auditing comm cycle.

COMMANDS: "Do fish swim?" "Do birds fly?"

POSITION: Student and coach sit facing each other a comfortable
          distance apart.

TRAINING STRESS:

  1.  Coach has student give command.

  2.  Coach mutters an unintelligible answer at different times.

  3.  Student acknowledges.

  4.  Coach flunks if student does anything else but acknowledge.

(Note: This is the entirety of this Drill. It is not to be
confused with any other Training Drill.)

Note: The whole trick in TR 2 and TR 4 is that it means one
understands that the pc has said something or has answered.
There is no demand the auditor understand the meaning in the pc's
answer in muzzled auditing. In the above drill the coach just
mutters or nods and looks wise instead of saying anything
comprehensible. The only kind of auditing where you must grab the
actual sense of the answer is in listing or in looking for
something that will blowdown or trying to find out what the pc
thinks is wrong. If the pc has said something he wants the auditor
to really grasp, let him explain and of course, if the pc insists,
grasp it. But this is rare and happens only when the pc is already
ARC Broken. Otherwise the above is the right way to do it.
