Are you highly accountable? Do you love routine and tend to gravitate to what is familiar to you? Would those that know you describe you as precise, accurate and factual? When it comes to being dedicated to the tasks that are assigned to you, is there no one more single focused and attentive? Would you describe yourself as a perfectionist? Do you prefer to manage tasks rather than people?
