The self-assessment also showed that I am on the in-group side. I agree with my results because I also tend to be close with my managers. Typically I attempt to form a trusting relationship with management the moment I start the job because I see this to be the most important factor in being on the in-group side. After the trusting relationship is formed, other factors of being on the in-group side begin to take place such as having the manager recognize my potential and listening carefully to what I have to say.
