I disagree again. There's no precedent for saying that it's the ONLY one that's usable, ever.

xD

Yeah, I was talking about the two systems mentioned. Not every possibility in existence. Sorry I didn't clarify. One, is usable for statistics, the other is far too complex to be usable.

Calling someone an idiot is aggressive, not assertive. I think Townsend in her the psychiatric mental health nursing stated assertion best as what you said along with treating people with due respect and being honest. If I call you a [censored] right now, but that's aggression. But, I don't believe that and would rather converse with you instead. What got me to conclude it's passive aggression is sugar coating and not telling the truth. You could omit without being disrespectful, but I don't believe you should sugarcoat. As I said, it's not about calling someone an idiot. I mean, it's not as if I'm not empathetic to someone who ends up working with the wrong kind of people. I know what you need to prioritize, especially about for a major grade. But, someone told me from my nursing class about group projects that I thought is true. She said, "This is not just your project. You are not the only in the group. We're here to help you."

I'm not a submissive, the anklecuffs are simply a fashion statement.

Depends on the situation, but I'd say I'm more submissive than dominant.

More responsibility than I'm used to makes me freak out. I can't handle pressure very well.

It's getting better, though, and when I know I can get away with it I'm very assertive about getting my own way.

Its in my nature to be dominant, but I guess I just lack the confidence.

Completely and utterly submissive. There are few situations I could ever see myself being otherwise. I follow commands, rules, I avoid confrontation with anybody in a position higher than me, and my ideal woman is one who could easily beat me in a fight, physically or mentally.

Same here, I'm dominant with everything in life but I love a strong dominant woman that asserts herself in sixy savage situations, fighting me for the crown

i don't like being told what to do, the only exception i take to that is while i am at work. i don't care what im doing as long as i get paid, so it doesn't bother me if some tool tells me what and how to do it. Although i do get very irratated when they tell me to do stuff that i am literally already doing.

but in a non work environment, i do things my way. im not bull headed about it and am open minded, but if it is something i don't want to do. im not going to do it.

I also have an annoying trait of trying to control things and sometimes i don't catch my self telling other people how they should do something. that is rare since i usually just keep my mouth shut, but the urge is inside me and i am always thinking i could make other people decisions for them and much better.

EDIT: Avoidance is most definatly not a trait inherent in submissiveness. I avoid a lot of social situations because i know that i am incapable of going through them correctly, and the more i screw up those kind of tests the more people start to question if im cracking up and think there is something wrong with me.

Probably depends on the major, and maybe the school. For example, courses in the Engineering and Applied Sciences fields are going to attract more motivated people (generally, as they tend to be more difficult) than courses in the Arts and Sciences fields (nothing wrong with them, but they're often less rigorous).

It bothers me being told what to do and the only reason I mostly allow it is because I need money ha. I have a problem with authority of any kind and submitting to the will of a superior so naturally I've butted heads with every boss I've ever had as well as the police . It just really grinds my gears when another man tries to assert his authority on me, especially in a work place environment as they tend to be clueless to who they're dealing with unless you give them a reality check (which I had to do in office jobs with corporate crap). I make it known that I'm here to work and I don't need to be whipped or pushed in any way like some damned beast of burden.

sorry, this post has stirred up some stuff

Please tell me how I should vote on this poll.

I am submissive. I usually feel that someone else is more qualified to lead than I am. Only when I see this is not true do I step forward

You know what they say? You either lead, follow or get the hell out of the way. I'll just stay out of the way.

This is too much me, also. I usually have to get mad or frustrated to take a stand. Then, it is not handled very well

I don't have a problem with authority as long as they don't do anything that is designed to work against me.

wow I must be really tired.. missing words, and words in the wrong order. Typo of the century.

I have the ability to convert whomever I want within a few days.

I wrote and orated Fact-based Speeches that have changed people's minds.

Some say I have a magnetic personality. Me? I say I just bring the true side of people out.

Submissive in every way. It's just natural to me.

Submissive, for obvious reasons.

Inspirational personality type (yes, there is one). I'm typically dominant, but I've instantly gotten behind people with said personality type. It's difficult to resist.

Ah, the Dale Carnegie type?

I svck at taking orders or instructions and don't particularly like being responsible for a group. I work best independently or one on one. I don't lean to either extreme of dominant or submissive really.

Neither. I don't force my will on anyone nor do I let others force their will on me.
