But I can easily see that conflict can easily escalate into physical violence, so I try not to go there if there is no real reason to do so.

To assert yourself means that you have to be ready to ride that car right to the logical end, and few things warrant that kind of response. Nothing here does.

The times when I get aggressive are about twice a year, when someone knowingly, purposefully (not ignorantly) threatens my livelihood or the company itself. Everything else is fluff.
That either sounds like a very balanced and low-key 8w7, or like an 8w9. ^^'
