Strongly disagree Disagree Neither disagree nor agree Agree Strongly agree When I am in a group of strangers, I am not reluctant to express my opinion openly. I find that criticism affects my self-esteem. I sometimes hesitate to use my own ideas for fear they might be impractical. I think society should let reason lead it to new customs and throw aside old habits or mere traditions. People frequently succeed in changing my mind. I find it sometimes amusing to upset the dignity of teachers, judges, and "cultured" people. I like wearing a uniform because it makes me proud to be a member of the organization it represents. People have sometimes called me "stuck-up." Others' disagreement make me uncomfortable. I do not always need to live by the rules and standard of society. I am unable to express my feelings if they result in undesirable consequences. Being a success in one's career means making a contribution that no one else has made. It bothers me if people think I am being too unconventional. I always try to follow rules. If I disagree with a superior on his or her views, I usually do not keep it to myself. I speak up in meetings in order to oppose those whom I feel are wrong. Feeling "different" in a crowd of people makes me feel uncomfortable. If I must die, let it be an unusual death rather than an ordinary death in bed. I would rather be just like everyone else than be called a "freak." I must admit I find it hard to work under strict rules and regulations. I would rather be known for always trying new ideas than for employing well-trusted methods. It is better always to agree with the opinions of others than to be considered a disagreeable person. I do not like to say unusual things to people. I tend to express my opinions publicly, regardless of what others say. As a rule, I strongly defend my own opinions. I do not like to go my own way. When I am with a group of people, I agree with their ideas so that no arguments will arise. I tend to keep quiet in the presence of persons of higher rank, experience, etc. I have been quite independent and free from family rule. Whenever I take part in group activities, I am somewhat of a nonconformist. In most things in life, I believe in playing it safe rather than taking a gamble. It is better to break rules than always to conform with an impersonal society. In one word, what do you believe is your best personality trait? (What quality do you value most?
