Should I apply for a job where I don't meet the key qualities?

It's a job for a PA and I quite like the sound of it. However, the ad says, "The ideal candidate is assertive and confident" - (qualities I don't possess). I'm shy and introvert, but a fantastic hard worker.

Hillary Devey (RIP) off dragons den made this point on one of her programmes. ( she was the one who wore the white jackets with shoulder pads)
