strong sense of what you like and dislike, and know your strengths and weaknesses. Be-
fore making a decision, you find out as much information as you can, researching or asking

you will stick to it.

your options open. However, it can also lead to confusion and may result in you not making
decisions but letting events take over.

you need to be careful that you are not influenced too much by other people. You tend to
respond rather than lead and you prefer to be a member of a group rather than be on your
own.
