May 27, 2008 Quiz: Are You Assertive Enough?Here's a quick quiz to help you identify whether or not you are assertive enough in terms of achieving business and/or career goals.

Once you've completed each answer, click "Are You Assertive Enough?" to find out your score... and what it means... 1.

5. Your boss is a bully who constantly demeans you and the other members of your team. Do you:
