This assessment measures two important components of assertiveness:
1. Express Myself: Do you express your own opinions, needs, and preferences?
2. Respect Others: Do you show respect to others, even if you disagree?
The self-reflection section highlights your strengths, and the quiz section lets you know your current knowledge of assertiveness concepts.
