Regarding this Communication Test, consider each individual question. Think about your personality, your relationships, and consider how it might help you to develop an assertive response instead of passive or aggressive. In relationships being consistently passive will cause problems. And just the same, a consistent pattern of aggression will alienate others from you. There are always exceptions when it is wise to be passive, or wise to be aggressive depending on the situation. The preference for Assertive Communication is for interpersonal relationships.
