i'm assertive.

You behave in a confident and forceful manner, take charge of the situation, raise your hand in class, stand up for what you think is right, and lead others. Among those who have a high score on the "assertive" trait, many have jobs in which they are valued for their organizational skills as well as their talent for supervising others.

You are not interested in fading into the woodwork, leaving everything to fate, taking more time than necessary to accomplish a task, or avoiding confrontation.

supervising others, sure.  i was having this discussion yesterday with a dear friend.  assertive, of course i am. in school. work. church. family. assertive when it comes to men?  you bet i'm not.  i'm as demure as they come.  we're looking to fix this.
