I'm too special and very angry about it.

My result, to get this thread started:

difficult-person


You are a very easy person to get along with (14.29%).

Callousness is characterized by lacking empathy or concern for others. People high in callousness typically have deficits in genuine social sentiments and are often experienced by others as coarsely uncivil. In other words, they often make people feel uncomfortable. Zero callousness.

Grandiosity can be described as having a grandiose sense of self-importance and the thought that one is better than others. People high in grandiosity often tout their abilities and their accomplishments while downplaying the contributions of others. They tend to put themselves on a pedestal and have a sense of entitlement about them. Zero grandiosity.

Aggressiveness is the tendency to behave rudely and with hostility toward others. Aggressiveness may be doubly hurtful to others if combined with callousness, since the aggressive person may thus be both intimidating and unfeeling in their demeanor. Low aggressiveness.

Suspicion is the tendency to harbor a strong and unreasoning distrust of others. Suspicious people often question the motives of even those who act loyally and devotedly toward them. Such people are often reluctant to open up to others and may interpret kind-hearted gestures as attempts to deceive them. Moderate suspicion.

Manipulativeness is the inclination to exploit others to derive benefits for oneself. Manipulative people take other people for granted and use them to realize their own wishes and goals, thinking little of interpersonal reciprocity or the rights of others. Such people often exhaust and frustrate those around them, since they give little in return for the services and favors they extract from others. Almost zero manipulativeness.

Dominance is the tendency to put on airs of superiority and talk down to others. Domineering individuals have a strong desire to be seen as leaders and often react with combativeness when they cannot get what they want. They frustrate others by meddling in their affairs and with their attempts to control the decisions of those around them. Low dominance.

Risk-taking is the propensity to engage in risky behavior for the sake of experiencing thrills. People high in this trait impulsively seek sensations to overcome boredom, and often get pleasure from shocking others with their adventures and stunts. Risk-takers often make those around them ill at ease since their actions may have consequences for others as well as themselves. Low risk-taking.

That makes sense though.
I wonder if your job shifted you towards these traits, or if they were latent and you sought out work where they could be exercised freely.

I think I was trained. My former mentor was rather fierce. She basically forged me by fire, work-wise. Never trust. Check your paper trail. Evaluate your manpower. These were some of her most important lessons. Where we differed was in how we treat mistakes. She used to pull up a storm with tiny mistakes. She'd throw manuscripts at our faces and bang drawers and my colleagues would put me up as bait to pacify her. LMAO. It's really funny to look back to in hindsight. She was right though about being careful. It isn't a joke to be in specific messes. With people lacking accountability and too many people actually out there to get what they want, one has to evolve to survive the field. I think it's more of an armor for me at this point. Sometimes though we wear it so much, we forget when to put it down. Perhaps, my mentor also saw something in me to have chosen to mold me in her image. So then, I probably didn't answer your question. :sweatsmile::sweatsmile::tearsofjoy: Sorry, Winter. :grin:
