You are a
perfectionist and have high standards for your own work. You
often feel that if you want something done right you must do it
yourself, for others do not do as thorough a job as you do.
Doing a task well is very important to you, and you may labour
over minute details that others wouldn't bother with. You strive
for accuracy, efficiency, and precision, and you become very
irritable when things are not done "right".
On the other hand,
you can become so much of a perfectionist and so self-critical
that you will not even attempt many activities and projects,
feeling that your efforts simply won't be good enough. You are
usually modest and realistic in assessing what you can
accomplish and, if anything, you underestimate yourself. Of
course, practice makes perfect, and if you do apply yourself
diligently in some area, you gradually gain self-confidence as
you master skills and develop expertise.
You conserve your
energy and pace yourself so that you do not waste or diffuse
your efforts. An unwillingness to take risks or venture from the
beaten track can sometimes limit your opportunities. In short,
you may not aim high enough and settle for too little in life.
You have a positive,
"can-do" attitude and tackle life's challenges with relish. You
are self-confident and have a strong will to succeed, to see how
much you can do and how far you can go. No matter what you
accomplish, you do not rest on your laurels. You want to keep on
going, to do even bigger things. You are forward-looking,
enterprising, and enthusiastic about new projects. You are not
happy in situations that do not offer you challenges and the
potential for growth and expansion in the future - no matter how
secure or satisfactory they may be in other respects. You enjoy
competition, but you compete mostly with yourself, to see how
much of your vision and potential you can really achieve. You
make a good leader, inspiring courage and confidence in others.
You usually enjoy good health and high vitality.
