So I ended up placing myself somewhere within the lower left quadrant, or "Relationship Master" section. This is because I don't feel I tend to outwardly express my opinion very strongly , especially if I'm in a new situation or with new people, and because I know that my emotions are typically fairly easy to read, and I am fairly upfront about them.
Relationship Master:
+Excellent at building and sustaining community.
+Work well on a team.
+Great at building rapport, consensus and seeking feedback.
+Support, praise and feel concern.
+Display high regard for others' wishes, viewpoints and actions.
-May not take an unpopular stance if it puts a relationship at risk.
-Can put so much emphasis on relationship that tasks and decision making fall behind
-Can forget to downplay their own needs, to their detriment.
Some Effects on the Group:
You cannot have too much caring and respect as part of your capacity-it's the glue that's essential for a group to function. As a leader, it is powerful when combined with other quadrant functions. If it is the only style a group has, the group may not take enough risks or make enough decisions to move forward significantly. The group may also avoid conflict to the extent that there is lack of depth in genuine connection and innovation.

My Thoughts:
I do agree with these generalizations for the most part. I do believe I have more strength when it comes to being a more mediator style figure who works more at fostering a positive group atmosphere conducive to team work. However, I know I am weaker when it comes to inspiring decision making, or simply making decisions myself.
