That something extra we´d love to see…
- Analytical: You value the power of context & enjoy examining the past. You get the present by analyzing (sometimes over-analyzing) events leading up to it. This methodology is super helpful but can provoke analysis-fatigue in those within earshot. Good thing you’re aware of this.
- Detailed: Nothing gets by you and you rarely forget a thing. When learning some new procedure, you’re the type to take notes. When everyone else is still lost, you’re already at the next steps. Others count on this skill of yours.
- Respectful: You are fair and aware of the need to treat people the same by setting up clear rules and adhering to them. This has opened many doors to you at every level.
- Organized: You are strong in the Organization area, and you enjoy order. Disorder is like constant noise to you, and you can’t stand it.
- People Person: You enjoy the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. You feel rewarded just from breaking the ice and making a connection with another. You would probably make a great diplomat.
