"I'm not going to ask for help unless I'm really desperate because if someone helps me, then I don't get the credit for doing a fantastic job!"

Four: the Individualist
"If only someone could help me . . ."
Five: the Observer

Six: the Loyalist
"I might ask for help, but what if they say no and then things are all awkward and I lose their friendship because they think I'm needy and weird."
"Oh sure, I'm going to ask my people what they think. I gotta know what they think is best so that I know what is best too."

"Help? Oh yeah, we could use all the help we can get. Come join in! The more, the merrier!"

"It's not that I need help. I just need everyone to do exactly what I say exactly when I say it."
Nine: the Peacemaker
"I don't want to ask for help because I don't want to be a bother to anyone."
"Sure, I'll ask for help. It's a chance to hear what other people want and think. And they all seem to know what they want more than me."
