Are you proactive and love to solve problems with data? Would you describe yourself as an analytical, fact-based thinker? Are you impatient and constantly on the move? Are you so skeptical that you have to be shown the resource to find it believable? Do others become frustrated with you because of your “prove it” mindset? Do you have a fear of failing or being wrong because you exacting, precise and thorough? Do you like being the resident expert in matters that you are very familiar with? Do you feel like you would rather just do things yourself because no one can do it better than you?
