  3. good: you get ahead, might be more likely to achieve what you want bad: ambitions may be more important to you than relationships, you may not be very loyal, etc.
  4. bad: you might get upset easily, take offence good: you might sympathise with other people’s problems, be more aware of situations around you
  5. You might not like people to be big headed or talk as if they are better than you; you might feel that modest people are not being honest or sincere.
