Communication and relationship skills are relevant in academic and professional activity in professions aimed at helping others. The planning of training activities aimed at interaction with others (e.g. peers) facilitates the acquisition of these skills, especially when it is promoted through feedback, more accurate evaluative judgments and the regularization of the learning process. Having instruments that facilitate effective feedback contributes to the planning of these training tasks, tools that should inform about skills that participate in counseling. In addition, they facilitate the efficient evaluation of the acquisition and learning in large groups of students. One of these instruments can be the Communication Skills Questionnaire (HABICOM). In this paper, various methodological aspects related to the use of communication and relationship skills assessment instruments in interaction situations were examined. The results obtained in the proposed objectives suggest that: (1) The confirmatory factor analysis indicates that the factorial structure of HABICOM and levels of reliability and validity are acceptable once some items are eliminated; (2) These self-perceived abilities are similar in Psychology and Social Work students; (3) There is a relationship in the perception of the communication skills shown during the interaction in a self-applied or hetero-applied format; (4) The perception of the partner measured with the HABICOM correlates with the perception of the helping skills during the interaction; (5) The analysis of the student's skills through video is related to the skills identified by the partner.
