Your score = 45

While you're not an overly assertive person, no one could call you a pushover. When the situation calls for some good old-fashioned assertiveness, you can dish it out with the best of them. You are able to stand up for yourself when the stakes are high, but in other cases your confidence wavers and you keep a lid on it. Perhaps you fear that others won't like the more "aggressive" you, you don't want to cause trouble, or you simply lack the confidence to speak up and voice your views to certain people. Whatever the cause, it certainly wouldn't hurt to hone up on your assertion skills. Brushing things under the rug can backfire in the long run - pent up emotion can lead to resentment or sudden aggressive outbursts. There's no need to fear rocking the boat from time to time, as long as you play fair. The more you assert yourself, the easier it'll become!
