I’m not a person who needs to have friends or be surrounded to be happy. I am happy being alone or with a small group of people. I honestly don't want to form personal relationships with the people I work with because I feel like that could cause some drama. Achievement is definitely something I strive for, so I was not surprised when that was the one I scored the highest on. I am always striving to do my best at work. I want to achieve high level task.

A time I personally experienced the fact that communication in the workplace is very important is when I experienced it for myself. Every day I communicate with others just like most. I am a desk receptionist in my father’s office. Therefore, communication is all I really do all day. Talking to others in a respectful and well-mannered way is one of my most important tasks of the day.
