How Assertive Are You?

You Are Aggressive
Image
You have no problem asserting yourself. In fact, you're likely too forceful.
You tend to be a little inappropriate with how far you go in your assertiveness.

Not only do you hope to get what you want, you expect it. And you'll throw a tantrum if you don't get your way.
It may be that your aggression is helping you in the short term. But there's a good chance it will ruin your life.

You Are Assertive
:rambo:

You assert yourself whenever it's necessary, but you're always polite and appropriate about it. You're not a bully, a manipulator, or a nag. You just state what you need quickly and honestly.

You've been assertive for so long that it just comes naturally to you. You're definitely not shy. People wonder why you get what you want in life. Well, it's because you ask for it!

Well - the latter isn't true at all. I haven't been assertive for long, and sometimes I struggle to be assertive, depending on my extreme swings of mood.
Generally, yes I'd say I'm assertive, but I'm a late bloomer and I haven't been assertive for many years at all.

You Are Not Assertive
You aren't very assertive. You tend to have trouble expressing your needs and wants.
Instead, you tend to get very frustrated if people don't read your mind!

You may want to be more assertive, but when the time comes, you find yourself at a loss for words.
Try practicing what you'll say ahead of time, and try being assertive with little things first.
