You seldom hesitate to address the issues that concern you the most. Whether it's noisy neighbors or perhaps a raise you feel you deserve, you'll immediately bring it to attention. You express yourself quite freely, asserting your personal rights with the confidence that your request is reasonable. As a typically self-assured individual, you are fairly comfortable with letting others know you disagree with them, especially when you feel you're being treated poorly. This approach shows that you feel you deserve respect, and want others to treat you this way.
You are as self-assured, forceful and assertive as most people. You are as likely as most to make direct requests upon others, depending upon the circumstance and the people you are dealing with.
You are likely to be flexible about attempting to influence others and about who takes control and the lead or initiative in social interactions. Typically, you are likely to be neither pushy nor a pushover in most of your dealings with other people.
You are more likely than not to be as competitive as most people. You do not necessarily feel as though you have to win. Neither are you likely to believe that you are the only one who can do things right.
Therefore, you are far less likely than a dominant person to discourage openness, communication, or cooperation from less assertive or otherwise inhibited individuals.
Consequently, you are less likely to be oblivious to the nuances of others’ behavior or to miss out on potential opportunities or to receive potentially valuable alternative viewpoints and information from others.
