Complete the following self assessment about your preferences and tendencies in group work.

I am well organized and good with details.

I am an artistic and visual person. I enjoy working on presentation design.

I am most comfortable when we split up tasks and do independent work.

I like collaborative working meetings where we can share ideas and work together.

I usually take charge of projects and get stressed when no one has a plan.

Communication is very important to me. I want to make sure we all have the same understanding.

I tend to procrastinate and do my best work under pressure.

Deadlines are very important to me, and I like tasks broken down into steps.

I'm a “big picture” person. I have lots of ideas but may need help with the details.

I tend to avoid conflict, and I’d rather just do things myself than confront someone who is slacking.

I feel it's important for me to share my opinion and will confront people if they aren't doing their fair share of the work.

Intergroup conflict is stressful to me. I am often the peacekeeper and try to resolve issues.
