I think it's telling that I knew subconsciously the instant I saw the 'communal' list that I would never, ever want a colleague or superior to describe me that way, while I'd be happy to have any of the 'agentic' list applied to me.

Not sure I'd take "dominant" and "forceful" as complimentary in this context.
Teamplayer sounds a better description than assertive (euphemism for "hard to get along with")
'assertive' may be a euphemism, but 'team player' feels like you're scrounging and scraping the bottom of the metaphorical bucket. Not that it's a bad trait.
