She won't last long here

My friend's dad does a special personality analysis with all employees and job candidates to see where they would fit best in his company. Some people's personalities led better to desk clerks, maids, managers, CEOs, etc.

As expected, my personality is extreme.

Strongest behaviors: Intense proactivity and aggressiveness in reaching goals, strongly independent, forceful, incredibly strong sense of urgency, constant motion, unable to do routine work, pursues innovative ideas, remarkably independent, resists authority.

Summary: "Sarah is a confident, independent self-starter with competitive drive, initiateive, a sense of urgency and the ablility to make decisions... She has confident in her ability to handle novel problems and people. She is outging, poised, lively communicator, tending to be more authoritative than persuasive. Talks briskly with assurance and conviction... firm, direct, self-assured ... she will become impatient and restless working repetitively. Sarah will delegate authority, limiting such delegation to people in whom she has high confidence. She makes decisions about people and siutations quickly... comfortable acting even in absence of incomplete information... Looks for opportunities to compete and win."

My self-concept (how I am expected to act) was a mirror image of my real personality, which A's dad called "disconcerting." Meaning, I need a new job. See "restless" above.

No new jobs for you until you finish this one young lady.

Also, this sounds like fun. I want to take it. Is it online somewhere?

Not just proactive, aggressive and independent --- INTENSELY proactive and aggressive and REMARKABLY independent.

You should have your own energy drink commercial.
