Ambitious.

There was some silly survey thing where they were figuring out how masculine/feminine you are based on how you identify with various traits... so, despite how ridiculous the entire idea is, I was sort of poking along it, and when I came to the word "ambitious" I really started wondering how much of my view of myself is not supported by how others view me.

I don't consider myself ambitious. Yet... I'm president of a provincial PSA, involved in the Professional Issues Advisory Council, and on Ministerial committees.

I don't consider myself forceful. Yet... if I'm passionate about something, I know I sometimes bulldoze conversations.

I don't consider myself to have a strong personality (nor a mild one). Yet, I think others might disagree? I certainly have a strong sense of who I am, internal to myself, and don't care all that much about others' view of me. Does that indicate a strong personality?

I don't consider myself energetic. Yet... I have people comment on "how you find the energy to do all this?"

So... in short... I'm not sure I can do this "test", because I'm not sure that how I view me vs. how I present to others fit.

I just thought it was interesting.
