Assertiveness
- Low / Unassuming - Diplomatic - Low need to control
- High / Forceful - Competitive - Achievement-oriented
Unassuming individuals tend to feel comfortable letting others take the lead while they sit comfortably behind the scenes. It’s likely they prefer to keep their opinions to themselves unless someone asks for them and doesn't like feeling pressured to offer their point of view.
Forceful individuals feel compelled to express their opinions, even if it causes tension. The phrase “demanding of oneself and others” accurately describes them. Forceful candidates often push for the ideas they believe in and don’t give in easily.
Being assertive is a core communication skill. Assertiveness can help you express yourself effectively and stand up for your point of view, while also respecting the rights and beliefs of others. Being assertive can also help boost your self-esteem and earn others' respect
