[ instead of writing it all out in a text, tseng just attaches a file to his response. it's a pdf document, and it contains several pages of notes, beginning with rufus' personality and habits before moving to a brief summary of how those personality traits would intersect with the expected behaviors of a dominant or submissive partner.
in terms of rufus as a dominant: he has the confidence and the assertiveness for it, but the fact that he considers submission demeaning and would likely judge a sub for using their safe word would make it difficult for him to establish a healthy d/s relationship with a new partner. tseng recommends that he experiment with more experienced partners first.
in terms of rufus as a submissive: because so much of his sense of self is tied to the power that he's able to wield over others, submitting and allowing himself to be vulnerable to someone else would likely be a difficult task for him. he would most likely refuse to use his safe word for fear of retribution or mockery, or would force himself beyond his own limits due to an avoidance of perceived failure.
nonetheless, the assessment concludes that while rufus may be most comfortable acting the part of a dominant, in truth he would likely make a much better submissive, if he could just get over the baggage. (not in those exact words, of course.) ]
