Goals don't have to be at one extreme end or the other of the spectrum of possible choices; in fact, they can be anywhere on the spectrum; whatever seems reasonable to the person choosing it. This makes such a moderate person neither uncaring nor lackadaisical - just balanced and thoughtful. They don't have to be nonassertive, either. Once they've chosen their goal, they may pursue it with all of the verve of a fire-breathing extremist. Or they may not.
