It is very important to me to do well at work compared to my coworkers.

I like having friends who can teach me something about myself, even if it isn't always positive.

I am always seeking opportunities to develop new skills and acquire new knowledge - even though I sometimes feel dumb or clumsy at the outset.

At work I am focused on demonstrating my ability.

It's important to me to show that I am smart and capable.

I like to be in relationships that challenge me to change for the better.

I strive to constantly learn and improve at work.

When I am with other people, I think a lot about how I am "coming across" to them.

I feel good about myself when I know that other people like me.

I try to do better than my coworkers.
