Does a thorough job |

The Conscientiousness factor evaluates the degree to which a person has self-control,
follows rules and stays focused on getting the job done. High scorers show up on time,
are well prepared, have gotten details correct, and execute on their assignments; they
are experienced as conscientious, very organized, dependable, reliable and as people
who do what they say they will do. Low scorers are seen as disorganized, unfocused,
unreliable and have poor follow-through. While they may have the best intentions, their
lack of self-control causes significant "cramming" or rushed work before deadlines. They
may have poor awareness of time and may not keep commitments.

Tact concerns the degree to which someone is tactful and careful in how they
communicate with others, versus direct, blunt and brutally honest (if not outright brutal).
High scorers are very careful in how they phrase sensitive information, and truly care
about the feelings of those with whom they interact. High scorers may avoid difficult
topics because they don't want to hurt others' feelings. Low scorers don't appear to care
what people think; they are experienced as very candid, direct, honest, and transparent;
you always know what they really think.
