Do you have a competitive drive?
No.
Do you enjoy competing?
No, not at all. Well, I do like playing games, cards, board games, darts, etc, but I don't consider myself competing when I'm playing them.....just using mental skills along with others. I don't get gleeful over winning or pouty over losing.
Professionally, Academically, or Athletically?
na
If you do enjoy competition, what drives you?
na
If you don't, what holds you back?
I don't feel like anything holds me back. Some things I excel in, some things not so much. Likewise for others. I have no interest in competing with someone else's abilities. I'm comfortable with my own capabilities or lack therof.
Do you think that your status as a woman has much to do with your stance?
Not at all.

=
"Do you think that competitive drive and womanhood are linked?"
or
"You're a woman. Does this impact your competitiveness?"
or
"Does being a woman have some influence on how competitive you are?"
Maybe one of those is more clear? I have a difficult time phrasing things sometimes.
Thanks, all!

I think men are more
openly competitive than women are. But that many women are just as competitive in a quieter, less ostentatious, way. Perhaps socially men's competitiveness is viewed as more acceptable.
