Poll: Team-player or soloist?

[Mock Turtle]

(And that is not groupie in the Biblical sense)

So how do you see yourself as to such, and how has this impacted what you have done in life or might do? And perhaps give examples of anything done, and where change might have occurred.

I like having control except for in situations where I approve of the other having control.

Makes things hard.

 

[JustGeorge]

Team player, which makes things difficult, because I'm almost always solo.

You'd think I'd adjust, but I don't.

 

[Daemon Sophic]

I tend to be a soloist, mainly because controlling and making a group do things right is ….. unwieldy. When I have to work in a group, I tend to take a leading role so they stay at least vaguely organized and heading in the right direction. But I am never the one who puts a group together. Blech!

I voted "Mostly a soloist but fine doing whatever with partner"

I could have voted for "Can do either, with no particular preference"

Thought it's more complicated than that, it depends on the task.

The best way of describing it, and some may still not be able to fill in the blanks, but...

I'm kind of like an entrepreneur / Elon Musk type in some ways, minus the inviting Republicans to Twitter.

So groups can sometimes be hard.

Or to use a female example. Maybe a bit like Padme Amidala before she met Anakin as an adult or shortly afterwards. A bit headstrong.

Mostly a soloist. I get frustrated when people try to help.
Maybe genetic or learned as I've noticed my son get this same frustration when people try to help him.

So I let people help to be nice but hope they get bored soon and go away.

I grew up having to do things mostly on my own and I'm still that way as an adult.

Mostly a soloist. I get frustrated when people try to help.

It's probably learned as there is a need for independence, and it often conflicts with the want others have to help out.
