  I am very competitive! I can’t decide if this is a good or bad thing but it isn’t something I can help.
  I did an escape room with my family a few weeks ago and I got very into it and competitive with them even!
  
  However, I think it made me want to do well at school because I always secretly wanted to be the best. Even when I’m in a team, I try my best to make us win.
  
  I’m a good loser though 🙂 I don’t get annoyed even though I’m competitive which I think is important.

  I like to work as a team so I am not really competitive

  I try to hide it but I am pretty competitive. I try to save it for things that I am good at and have a chance of winning. I don’t think it’s particularly bad as long as you can be happy for other people too and celebrate their achievements and respect that different people have different goals (I am very competitive at Mario Kart on my GameCube but am pretty good at winning so it’s ok!).

  Against myself – heavily
  Against others – not so much
  
  Not bothered if I win “I’m a Scientist” for example – but very happy to take part and hope my contribution is valued.

  I can be very competitive, but sometimes in quite odd ways. For example, answering a particularly difficult question I could spend a ridiculously long period of time looking something up just to get it right.
  
  If I was playing a game with someone, also pretty likely to be competitive, but not usually too overboard.
