I don't really like the aggressive personality type myself. I think it too often leads to other people being hurt to satisfy the aggressive's ego.

Aggressiveness is great in like games and war, things that are set up to be adversarial. There it can really pay off. Its poor for normal day-to-day life that doesn't really have to be adversarial. Cooperative works better then.

Just how I see it.

I'm only aggressive when it comes to doing pelvic and rectal exams. I'm only 5' 6" and I have correspondingly short fingers, so therefore I have to push a little harder in order to reach paydirt. Know what I mean?

Once, while having trouble installing a flourescent light bulb, I got so pissed at the idiotic design that I called the Phillips (or GE) consumer line, told the woman "Look - I'm mad, there's nothing you can do about this, but I have to vent at somebody who can possibly relay my message to somebody who can do something about it..." and then went on a highly entertaining 5 minute tirade about the idiocy of flourescent light bulb designs, the installation of them, and a quick rumination as to which circle of Hell the inventor of the damn things is currently residing. I know it was highly entertaining because all the people in the office was laughing at me - but since I was the boss, I didn't give a ****: laugh at me all you want, just do what I say when I say it, OK?

I am not agressive at all, except for some surges of nervousness.

There are a few things that make me agressive, or at least that make the best conditions for it: overcrowded places, lack of sleep, and having stood for too long.

In these circumstances, I can be angered, and nothing works so well as when I'm forced to keep being in these conditions (such as helping someone buy clothes ) for a period of time I cannot evaluate.

This is why I hate being with someone during a shopping spree, or that's why I hate being with someone at museums.

Usually, when I can sit and isolate myself, my anger cools down quickly. But everytime I'm angry in the company of my gf, she tries to calm me down, which always makes it worse.

Im very passive. Until you threaten me or someone that I feel I should be protecting.

A good example would be when I was in 4th grade. My sister was in 6th and was in an argument with a black kid on the playground. As I was walking by to make sure my big sister was okay he called her a *****. I pushed through all of the big 5th and 6th graders in my way, grabbed the kid by the throat and pinned him to the ground, and then garunteed him that if he ever called my sister a ***** again I would kill him.

Another time in 7th grade some kid threatened to beat me up. I shoved him up against a locker and started cussing at him, but his girlfriend who happend to be a friend of mine broke us upart and told us to quit it. Lucky bastard, I would have torn him apart.

but really Im not aggresive

Nope. I'll defend myself, but usually there's another way out. If lessons need to be taught, they can be taught by a cop.

Never come up, my friends don't get into fights they can't handle. Most of my friends are either:
a) BBOB or ex-BBOB (rugby) players, and so the whole team will stick up for them.
b) Non-agressive, and won't get into a fight.
c) Female.
Never had to stick up for someone in a fight. If someone was unfairly attacking a mate, I would usually find another way of removing the offense. If it took it, I would defend them. However never throw the first punch, unless it involved Louise and it warrented it.

I have a strange dual-personality.

I'm prone to Vengeance (probably closer to Anxiety) - I'll attack anyone who I percieve as being "The Enemy", and physically attack anyone trying to physically impose / bully others into following their orders.

Failing anyone ordering anyone else to do anything I tend to be friendly and sociable, or at the very most apathetic.

Of course, if a person expresses a disagreeable ideology (e.g. people advocating drunkenness over responsibility) I tend to taunt them to provoke violence - that way I'm not the one making the first attack and nobody can sue me for self-defence.

...

Yes I suppose I'm agressive. Not all the time, though. It's directed.

I am not aggressive in the violent sense in the slightest. Even when I get into a fight, which has only happened 3 times in the last 10 years, I don't get angry. I'll withdraw into a cool analytical mode and will do as much and whatever is necessary to bring said fight to a to me satisfactory end. In practise this means I target any punches and kicks to weak spots (noses, throats, groin, knees). Anyway as a 6'5" 210lbs athlete you want to be able to control your emotions as you're liable to damage someone bad if you lose cobtrol.

During sports it is all slightly different. I was Known for my tendency to injure myself and other people whilst playing basketball, largely due to me throwing myself about. I modelled my game on Dennis Rodman, though I scored more points.

Rowing is slightly different as there's no real room for pure aggression. It is again the "mind of ice" state you want to be in, as you have to keep supremely focussed for anything upto 20 minutes depending on the race. A loss of concentration can result in you losing control of your blade, or someone else losing control as a result of you upsetting the balance.

No I am not aggressive.

I am assertive, and I can defend myself. But I don't go around dictating to other people.
