Identify your Role As A Team Player

This isn't about sports, this has something to do with positive qualities and allowable weaknesses. Try to refrain from saying negative traits, we can always replace it with "Allowable Traits"

Decide which stereotype you think comes closest to describing you. If you find it absolutely impossible to settle for one stereotype, allow yourself a mix of two. But remember, you are not being asked to describe yourself as a stereotype, just to say which one you think comes closest to yourself. The purpose is to use the stereotype as a starting point, not accept it as an endpoint.
