Which of the 3 would you say you are? Or are you a mix?
I'd say I'm mostly passive. I can get angry quite easily, but it's rarely outwardly expressed, and so inwards it goes. I'm not really a fan of confrontation either.

I'll say I'm passive, and let other people agree/disagree with me. I think that it's mostly motivated by my apathy, but I'm more interested in what people think.

Anyway, I'm not quite sure what assertive means (still), but it seems to me to be a tactful aggressive. I tend to think aggressive people is the way to go.

i think all of them really.
i'm normally very passive. i let others make desisions and i just follow
but sometimes when people piss me off i get really angry
plus i tend to take charge in group work and i always end up talking to the class in desussions. :-/
but i'm normally a very calm person.....until i have sugar!!!!!!! :love:

Hmm, I'd say mostly passive but if I feel comfortable with what i'm doing I can probably be assertive. And aggressive, well, not so much.

o_O I was gonna start this thread in EoEO. Guess great minds think alike! :p

I'd say passive. I get ignored sometimes, and I hate it. :(

I suppose that while I can be passive in some situations ("Where do you wanna eat?" "I dunno. Where ever.") I'm generally very assertive and in some cases agressive.

Being assertive means making sure your ideas/opinions are heard and taken into account. Being agressive means trying to ensure your opinions/ideas are followed. At least that's how I feel.

Under most circumstances, I'm far too passive; to a fault even. I'm always making a conscious effort to not upset anybody, even when someone is being incredibly rude.

There are a few things that irritate me, but I have to be very angry to break out of my passive nature. Even then, I'm only more assertive - I never get aggressive.

Definitely passive.

I'd rather be passive than aggressive or assertive. I dislike those personality types in general.

I little bit of each.

It's come to be my belief that I am never necessarily one of anything... but rather my personality is the result of an unconcious negotiation between many things.

It really depends on the situation, how I'm feeling (tired, good mood, bad mood) and several other factors.

For instance, if it's been a bad day and I'm with friends, I'm probably more passive because I just want to chill out and relax.

Where as, if it's a day that demands a lot of attention or direction, like setting up for an art galleria then I will probably be a bit more agressive or assertive.

I can safely say that I'm a mix of passive and assertive, but not aggressive. I'm assertive if I feel the need, but I'm mostly laid back.

I'm always extremely passive around everyone EXCEPT my sister. If she annoys me (which she seems to do most days) I get aggressive.

passive agresive, im cool as a cucumber until you make me mad then im as hot as a tamale.Pretty much how I am. I'm pretty laid back, and it can take a fair bit to get on my nerves (unless I'm already pissed), but once I do snap I tend to be mean. Physically threatening me is a good way to get an aggressive reaction out of me.

im usually very passive except for the uncommon occasion where i get pissed off and go aggressive
and its the 'dont be such an ass or ill punch you in the face!!' random burst of over compressed bottled up anger type of agressive

Ouch!

It really depends on my current emotional state. I can be either passive or aggressive, but there's no middle ground.

I'm mean. I go around poprocking people for no reason. My reflex is to kick people when they look at me for any reason at all, even a glance or swift pass of my direction, and I get urges to jab someone's eyes out. I think about shanking people with knives and think about world domination...

but really...

I'm all three, I think. Sometimes/some days, I'm more than the others and such, but for the most part I'm nuetral. Depending on the people around me depends on how I'll act.
