    Exactly.

    I usually end up doing most of the work if all the people in my group are part of the same social circle; they'll be off socializing while I quietly do all the work and earn them a good grade. But if i'm with any of my friends, i'll usually talk to them while working, and we'll usually share the load.

    Im crap at working in groups. Not because I have arguments with people, but because I tend to have a different working style from most people.

    With some few select people though, I can work well with, but mostly, Im solitary.

    Do you do everything in groups? This is a very important question.

    Yeah, this is me. Except the part about the taking over. I don't do that all the time.

    I absolutely hate group projects. I don't feel like I benefit from at all. I also don't voice my opinion, ever, cause I'm usually not comfortable witht he people I work with. I especially hate collaborating on writing stuff. That's the worst. Ugh. I had to do that earlier this week. So I just took all the research stuff home and did it myself. I don't think anyone was too upset on me doing everything ;D

    "Let our powers combine! Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart! By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet! GO PLANET! "

    YES!!!

    o..topic, gotcha.

    I try to be as inclusive as possible, while steering the group in a positive direction. Sometimes i can get a bit bossy, but thats not always my intent

    Read theundeadhero's post and you will have the distinct privilege of looking inside my brain. I'm not going to tell you out in the open because that's too easy.

    My course taught me how to work in groups. Yes, I do work well by myself but I feel like I can work faster when I'm in a group, not only do I love division of labor but also there's a nagging feeling like I should work hard so as not to let the whole group go down.

    Happy Birthday to Me

    In school I hated working in groups. At work it is actually true that two people are often more productive than one. I try to get other people to work on tasks with me as much as possible nowadays. Other perspectives are immensely valuable. And it's less work for me.

    I don't like working with other people unless it's something I don't want to do, so I can get them to do all the work.

    I usually work pretty well on my own. Sometimes I work better with other people. Ultimately it depends on what I'm supposed to be doing.

    EDIT: And I'm just going to shout out CAPTAIN PLANET right now for no reason other than the title reminds me of the cartoon...
    Money, power, sex... and elephants.

    Also for me, I always end up doing all the work because no one else in my group knows what's going on, but I always seem to know, according to them so they're like "you want to do this?" and I'm always okay with that because for some reason, I feel as if it won't be done right if I don't do it...mainly because the kids in my grade don't know how to use their brains. I know it sounds a bit conceited maybe, but seriously, they sit there and don't even attempt anything..they just say "whatever, if I fail, I fail, I'm not going to put any effort into it." And personally, in moments like those when the entire group's grade is the same for every individual, I'd rather get a decent grade than a horrible one.
