Answer: Task-oriented.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are different listening styles: relational, analytical, task-oriented and critical listening. A person who is a task-oriented listener wants a clear direction about what has to be done and might be less patience when it comes to hearing the motivations behind the assignment, especially if they are complicated. A task-oriented listener is exclusively interested in doing what´s expected, that might come across as impatient, which can add tension to relationships.
