The Conventional Personality

Conventional individuals are people who live primarily in their orderliness. They are quiet, careful, accurate, responsible, practical, persevering, well organized and task oriented. They solve problems by appealing to and following rules. They are placid, orderly, careful, accurate, and use their mind, eyes, hands to carry out tasks.

The Conventional person is task oriented and prefers to carry out tasks initiated by others by working for someone of power and status rather than to be in such a position themselves. Since they are careful of detail, these individuals keep the world's records and transmit its messages. They obey rules and they value order in the world of data. Their sense of responsibility keeps the world going as they focus on the tasks at hand to the exclusion of all else. They are good at carrying out details or following through on others' instructions. They have a strong need to feel secure and certain, get things finished, attend to every detail and follow a routine. Conventional people are neat, orderly, and practical, which like to work with data (facts, figures, and numbers) in structured settings.
