- I'm not 'driven' or 'ambitious'....I won't taichi my work around or drag people down with me but I'm quite content to have a simple/stable kind of career. I can have my fun/fulfilment outside work. At work I would prefer to just do the bare minimum to get by.

- I'm quite introverted. I keep to myself and am not comfortable in bigger groups of people. My socialising skills aren't that great, and I can't suck up to people. i'm not a social outcast or a hated/bullied person but i can't do networking.
It depends on whether you have the passion to serve the public (and the greater good of the society). It does not matter whether you are in Ministry or SB, but the task you are assigned and working on.

The various aspects you mentioned can be managed or build up over time, as long as you are teachable.
