Strengths

- You are likely a "self-starter" who will not be difficult to motivate, provided the job expectations are clear.

- Neither consistently assertive nor overly deferential, you will be assertive in some situations and not in others.
- You have a strong commitment to your own views and often choose to act proactively. You will favor direct expression over ignoring an issue or avoiding discussing it. This trait is often found in leaders.

- You have a high level of curiosity and willingness to experiment. You will be comfortable in roles that evolve or change over time, or that involve many different elements. You may also exhibit creativity and "outside the box" thinking.

- A high level of self-confidence suggests you will generally be free from self-doubt.

- Roles that are very narrowly defined or don't involve an opportunity for a learning trajectory may be less appealing for you.
Development Suggestions
Work Habits
Achievement-oriented by nature, you will benefit from being challenged to achieve even greater effectiveness in a role and to look for opportunities to further refine your strengths and apply them for greater impact.
Your motivation and drive are best harnessed by prioritizing activities in a way that optimizes your ability to achieve results. You should look for places where you can add the greatest value and use your natural drive to deliver in areas of impact.
Temperament
While there is a time and a place for healthy competition, there is also a risk that being highly competitive may have a negative impact on developing good relationships with others. It may be beneficial for you to consider using your energy and enthusiasm for success to help others in their attainment of goals. This may help you foster valuable working relationships. You may also benefit from understanding that it's OK to lose and to fail - doing so can encourage growth, build resilience, and help shape future goals.
Persisting is an important characteristic in the accomplishment of tasks and deliverables. However, there may be times when trying a different approach is more beneficial than just trying harder in the same direction. Knowing when to step back and assess the effectiveness of one's approach, and being open to persisting in a new direction, can meaningfully contribute to accomplishing your objectives.
Interaction Style
Some interactions call for a more direct approach, whereas others may require a gentler touch. When engaging with others, you should make sure to consider the situation, the people involved, and the context to help you determine the level of directness that is warranted.
You have an independent streak that will be an asset in many roles. But some activities are best completed by partnering with others. You will be well served to remember that no one is right 100% of the time.
Effective performance is often a combination of getting things done and interacting well with others. There are times when remaining focused on getting work done is the best approach and times when spending more time engaging with others is beneficial. It may benefit you to take a moment to consider the right balance for a particular job and where you may need to rebalance.
Attitudes & Outlook
Being creative and intellectually curious is a great asset in many fields. But there are times you must also realize that there is no need to use a complex solution when a simple one will do. Making sure that your solutions can be delivered on by others is also important. Being able to come up with straightforward and practical solutions can be valuable, as in addition to resolving the challenge at hand, simple solutions are more easily replicated by others.
When approaching a new task you may feel more confidence than is warranted. It's important to ensure that your confidence and self-assurance do not inhibit your willingness to prepare in advance. Often, success is the result of planning and effort.
