Am I assertive?

I filled out the form for this quiz (http://www.trans4mind.u-net.com/assertive.htm) to find out if I am assertive. I scored a 13, which means that I'm more submissive than aggressive, but still close to the balanced area  between aggressive and submissive. Although, personally I think I tend to get passive-aggressive at times. I think what I've learnt from this is that I need to maybe have a bit more confidence in my life, and take a stand for myself.

Body language also shows if your'e aggressive, submissive, or confident.  If I want to achieve a career in Illustration I must be able to have a good body language so people will hire me, and so I can pitch my ideas and showcase my work well. This can range from moving habits, posture, hand gesters, speech formation, eye communication etc.

The habits I personally want to get rid of is fidgeting with hands, avoiding eye communication or staring intensively at people, and to remove the "ums" and "errs" in my speaking.

Body language can also be used in illustration to portray characters and their personality, actions or mood.
