The Editor

Who the The Editor is

As an Editor, you are a systematic, precise thinker and worker who follows procedure in both personal and professional life. Extremely conscientious, you are diligent in work that requires attention to detail and accuracy. You desire stable conditions and predictable activities — you are most comfortable in a clearly defined work environment. You want specifics on expectations, timelines, and evaluation criteria. You can make major decisions but may be criticised for the time you take to gather and analyse information. You evaluate yourself and others by precise standards for achieving concrete results while adhering to standard operating procedures. You may define your worth too much by what you do rather than who you are — accepting sincere compliments graciously is a growth area.
