I think it's telling that I knew subconsciously the instant I saw the 'communal' list that I would never, ever want a colleague or superior to describe me that way, while I'd be happy to have any of the 'agentic' list applied to me.
'assertive' may be a euphemism, but 'team player' feels like you're scrounging and scraping the bottom of the metaphorical bucket. Not that it's a bad trait.

Not sure I'd take "dominant" and "forceful" as complimentary in this context.
Teamplayer sounds a better description than assertive (euphemism for "hard to get along with")
