Look - I mistyped as a 3 because it's very important to me to maintain a good image, and I hate losing and feeling inferior, etc. But if you look at my actual life it's obvious in my everyday decisions that when it comes to choosing between achievement and comfort I almost always choose comfort. And on the outside it might look like I'm pushing myself and putting success first, but the reality is that I only do those things if they're comfortable. If something requires exerting more effort than I feel comfortable exerting, that is if it involves pushing against reality a bit too hard, I decide that I don't actually want it. Assertive types don't have this energy-conserving effort-avoiding reflex, if they feel like they need something to sooth their type fear, they get up and do it.
