Are you more of a leader, follower, or bystander?

Are you a leader, follower, or bystander? Through work, school, etc I have observed there are those three major types there could be more but not prominent for me to notice, leaders, followers, and bystanders. Many times leaders get mistakenly called control freaks, I guess it is because the leader is in charge and calling the shots most of the time. Some people are just born leaders, they know what has to get done and have the skill to motivate people to execute it. Then there are those who will follow any good idea or plan but they don’t want to stick their neck out to make it, in case it fails I would guess, or they do not think they could form a successful action plan, so they follow but leave the decision making to others. Then there are bystanders who basically don’t care so long as they are not affected. They will help if asked but they don’t care to follow anyone or take the lead either. Many I know don’t usually vote either. Which have you found yourself more like, a leader, a follower, or a bystander and what reason do you figure you chose which group you are in?
