Your Scores

Each dimension is bipolar: the marker shows where you fell, not “how much” of a trait you have. Being near the middle means your answers didn't settle that dimension.

Here “ethical” means attention to feelings and relationships, not virtue, and “irrational” means adapting to events as they come, not a lack of reason. Neither pole is better than the other.

01

In a Minute

You judge everything you work on by asking one question: Does it work well, with as little waste as possible? Then you patiently and carefully fix what is wrong, while making sure the surroundings are comfortable and orderly for everyone. But your high standards may lead you to step in without being asked, and can make you forget to rest.

Your Strengths

  • Steady hard workYou get things done reliably and carefully, though you may forget that rest is part of the work.
  • Practical senseYou know how to get things done in real life, though you may dismiss untested ideas.
  • Care for qualityYou do not accept mediocre work, though this may exhaust the people working with you.

Your Blind Spots

  • Unasked-for interferenceYou correct how other people work before they ask you to.
  • Suspicion of new ideasYou hesitate to try ideas that have not yet proved successful.
  • Difficulty expressing feelingsYou show your care through practical help, not words.
02

Does This Sound Like You?

  • You often notice a better way to do a task someone else is working on.
  • You tend to fix broken things around the house yourself right away.
  • You often work during your time off or plan how to improve something.
  • You tend to show care for the people you love by helping them in practical ways.
  • You are often bothered by wasted time, money, or resources.
  • You tend to organize your workspace and tools in a particular way.

If most of these statements do not sound like you, your type may be closer to LIE or SLI; read their profiles and compare.
