Assertiveness Test - Abridged

ASSERTIVENESS TEST - ABRIDGED

When we're babies, vulnerable and unable to defend ourselves from the dangers of the world, it's our parents who protect us. Slowly, with time, experience and the right guidance, we learn to stand on our own two feet, both literally and in another very important way - we learn to look out for ourselves. We begin to realize that we have some power over what happens to us and that if we don't speak up for our personal rights, it's very rare that someone else will.

This, essentially, is assertiveness - the ability to express opinions, thoughts and wishes in a clear, direct way, even if there's the potential for rejection or disagreement.

So what makes one person assertive and another cower in the corner at the mere thought of voicing their opinion? Like most personality traits, there is no easy answer - assertiveness is affected by a wide variety of factors and can even change throughout one's life. Regardless of the cause however, there is no doubt that assertiveness is a quality that can be taught and developed. Passive participants on life's stage can learn to go after what they want.

OVERALL RESULTS 48

According to your results on the Assertiveness Test, you seem to stand up for yourself fairly well. In most day-to-day situations, you possess the necessary skills and inner-confidence to tell others what you need, think or want. However, you may occasionally hesitate to declare your opinion on some things. Even if it's only in a certain areas of your life (work, school, relationships) it seems that you could profit from developing your assertiveness. There are, after all, a number of benefits to being self-assured that you don't want to miss out on: assertive people enjoy increased self-confidence, more respect from others, a stronger feeling of control over their lives and, of course, an increase in the possibility that their needs will be met. So why not take some steps to improve your ability to take charge? You have nothing to lose, but plenty to gain.
