This is a question GEN(R) McChrystal asks during interviews of potential employees. He stated he used it while on active duty as a "window into personality". The question forces candidates to consider their least attractive qualities and also muster enough courage to share them with someone who holds power over there careers (Kevin Lamarque-Reuters). So fellow RPers, how would respond to this question?

I have flagrantly been called a B*tch... Which translates to me as someone who is direct, won't compromise for less, refusing to tolerate injustice, stands up for the little guy, capable of getting sh*t done. Uhm, I am ok with that. ;)

Sound familiar? ;)

It is never easy to get harsh criticism, but I believe part of growing is being able to hold the mirror up and say, "oh sh*t. I could probably work on that" or "F*ck them, that is something that they will have to get over". ;)

I'm sure Bitch is the first thing that they say, but I'm hardworking, don't take crap and get shit done. Zero F's given if I'm not liked. Not to sound arrogant, but for every one that doesn't like me, there are 4 who do. I know who I am as a person.

It is all perception, isn't it? I deem it "straight-forward", others say "b*tchy". I am always professional, but I am absolutely sure that if you saw some of the facial expressions and hand gestures that go involuntarily with the things said in real life, you would definitely be more, "oh, yeah. Uhnm hum. I see how people could say that." I regret nothing. :)

Using polite professional responses?
Opinionated, stubborn, sometimes rude, unwilling to alter course on a want, requires need and facts

I've been called an @$$hole on more than one occasion. I wear it like an honor badge because that means I have crossed the gender threshold. I have also been told that I am very intimidating at first but once people get to know me I am not always the hard @$$ I come across as.
