Work, Communication & Interaction Style
Motivated.
Possessing an inner drive, you are likely committed to achieving
certain goals that are of personal importance. Team members will
generally perceive you as being motivated and driven to succeed,
provided that the goals are clear.
Very Independent, Aggressive.
You are likely to have a strong individualistic streak and will be
comfortable influencing others and advancing your own interests.
Individuals with low cooperative scores are often motivated to take
the lead on work projects and can be a good fit for independent,
competitive, and results-oriented fields such as sales or managerial
roles.

Very Competitive.
Compared to most people, you have a very strong drive to win. You
are likely to be highly motivated by competition and will strive to
meet and exceed external targets. In work settings, highly

Strengths & Potential Challenges
Strengths
You are likely a "self-starter" who will not be difficult to motivate,
provided the job expectations are clear.
You are highly competitive by nature, with an innate desire to
win, which will serve you well in roles where performance
measurement is valued. You are comfortable taking risks when
required.
Potential Challenges
Your highly competitive nature may, at times, be seen by others
as unfriendly. You should find ways to ensure you are competing
as a team towards shared goals, as opposed to competing
against your team mates.
Your independent, aggressive streak might put you in conflict
with other members of the team if your interests are not aligned.
Neither consistently assertive nor overly deferential, you will be
assertive in some situations and not in others.
You have a strong commitment to advancing your own interests
and will act proactively to do so. This comfort with going against
the grain should stand you in good stead if you ever need to
make necessary but unpopular decisions.
Ambiverts like you tend to be flexible enough to have potential
suitability for a variety of roles, including those that emphasize
social interactions and those that do not.
You are likely to display an effective balance of patience and
impatience in pursuing opportunities or navigating frustrations
with work-related tasks or projects.

Development Suggestions
Work Habits
Your motivation and drive are best harnessed by prioritizing
activities in a way that optimizes your ability to achieve results.
You should look for places where you can add the greatest
value and use your natural drive to deliver in areas of impact.
Interaction Style
Some interactions call for a more direct approach, whereas
others may require a gentler touch. When engaging with others,
you should make sure to consider the situation, the people
involved, and the context to help you determine the level of
directness that is warranted.
Your independence and willingness to advance your own
interests will be an asset in many roles. However, sometimes it
is necessary to put the needs of the group before individual
goals. Doing so may be more effective in the long term. You will
be well served to consider the benefits of having a group where
everyone is aligned and working towards the same goals
together.
Effective performance is often a combination of getting things
done and interacting well with others. There are times when
remaining focused on getting work done is the best approach
and times when spending more time engaging with others is
beneficial. It may benefit you to take a moment to consider the
right balance for a particular job and where you may need to
rebalance.
Temperament
While there is a time and a place for healthy competition, there
is also a risk that being highly competitive may have a negative
impact on developing good relationships with others. It may be
beneficial for you to consider using your energy and enthusiasm
for success to help others in their attainment of goals. This may
help you foster valuable working relationships. You may also
benefit from understanding that it's OK to lose and to fail - doing
so can encourage growth, build resilience, and help shape
future goals.
Persisting is an important characteristic in the accomplishment
of tasks and deliverables. However, there may be times when
trying a different approach is more beneficial than just trying
harder in the same direction. Knowing when to step back and
assess the effectiveness of one's approach, and being open to
persisting in a new direction, can meaningfully contribute to
accomplishing your objectives.
Attitudes & Outlook
Knowing when to take a creative approach is important to
accomplishing goals. However, there are also times when using
tried and true methods are best for getting things done. The
balance is in understanding the situation at hand, quickly
learning the relevant history of what has already been
attempted, and capitalizing on the more effective strategy.
