Conventional individuals are efficient, careful, conforming, organized and conscientious. They are comfortable working
within an established chain of command and prefer carrying out well-defined instructions over assuming leadership roles.
They prefer organized, systematic activities and have an aversion to ambiguity. They are skilled in and often enjoy
maintaining and manipulating data, organizing schedules and operating office equipment. While they rarely seek leadership
or “spotlight” roles, they are thorough, persistent and reliable in carrying out tasks. Conventional types view themselves as
responsible, orderly and efficient, and possessing clerical, organizational and numerical abilities. They may also see
themselves as unimaginative or lacking in creativity. The preferred work environment of the conventional type fosters
organizational competencies, such as record keeping and data management, in a structured operation and places high value
on conformity and dependability.
