I don't see these as being mutually exclusive: I'm quite ready to be assertive, and I try to be considerate of others too. I think it's best to be able to both of these things at the same time: being just assertive enough to get the job done, without being unduly harsh to anyone. I know a woman who is very good at that, but I don't know anyone who has really mastered it yet.

Hell yes and hell no.

I usually care about people's feelings enough to not want to be aggressive, but I have the ability to push those cares aside if I need to.

I'm assertive until I lose patience. Then I get a bit abrasive. Emotional.

I find it very easy to be tactful. Nobody's perfect, but I can be assertive and tactful at the same time. That tends to be a win win situation 95% of the time.

That depends. If I like someone, I'd never hurt their feelings but if I don't like them, then I don't care
