If Kate is enterprising and adept at interacting with diverse groups of individuals, then this would strengthen her chances of being selected as, at the expo, she would have to market her company as well as meet with other industry professionals. If she considers herself to be better than her colleagues, then this would imply that she is narcissistic and hence, this would weaken her chances of being selected. If she is prepared to go to any length to get ahead, then this would imply that she is a high-Mach and might even act unethically; hence, this would not strengthen her position. If she has a conventional mindset and focuses on being efficient at her work, then this would imply that she is not very creative, which would weaken her chances of being selected. Lastly, if she often conforms to other's ideas and opinions rather than come up with her own, then this would imply that she is very agreeable but lacking in original thought, and hence this would weaken her chances of being selected.
