From a personality standpoint, the follower tends to be what?

• A. Aggressive
• B. Assertive
• C. Nonassertive
• D. Practicing excitation

Answer: (C)

Follower behavior in groups is largely about how assertive a member tends to be. A follower typically avoids asserting their own needs or challenging the leader, preferring to go along with directions and maintain harmony. That tendency aligns with being nonassertive. They may be a good listener, supportive, and cooperative, but they are less likely to voice disagreement or push for their own ideas, which is why nonassertive fits best. Aggressive describes pushing back or dominating, which doesn’t match the follower role. Assertive involves clearly and directly expressing needs and opinions, more typical of a leader or independent contributor. Practicing excitation isn’t a standard descriptor for follower personality in this context.
