Your family is having a political conversation at the dinner table. You choose to:
What set of words best describes your personality?
Your professor decides to give you an F on a paper because she doesn’t believe you wrote it. What do you do?

The Voice for the People
The Voice for the People
You stand firmly by your beliefs and feel more than confident to voice your opinions and be heard, no matter the consequence. You are the first to speak up in any situation and often act as a voice for others who may not be as extroverted. If there is ever a need to come to someone’s defense, you take it upon yourself to help, without expecting anything in return.

You are likely to listen to others before stating your opinions. There is a time and place to speak your mind, and you are careful to decide what battles are worth fighting. While you may not be the most confident in every situation, you do have thoughts, and will voice your opinions when necessary.

The Quiet Face in the Crowd
You are an introvert, enjoy listening or observing, and remain quiet on certain issues. If a discussion needs another point of view you will think about it, but hardly ever contribute to the conversation. You are likely to stick around if someone needs help, but will always remain in the background, letting the bolder ones talk.
The Pushover
The Pushover
You never ever speak your mind or stand up for yourself, mostly because you fear confrontation. If there is something happening that you don’t like, you believe it is better to stay out of it, and let those involved sort through their issues. What’s easier than simply walking away? In the back of your mind, you are always worried that no one would care about what you have to say.
