Blind spots
- ✦ Resisting change with sound reasons

Communication
Plain, sequential, evidence-based: you dislike hyperbole and prefer verifiable statements.
Decision-making
You decide from precedent and demonstrated fact, and dislike improvising on incomplete data.
Under stress
Stress makes you double down on procedure and grow quietly critical.
In relationships
You show love through consistency and provision rather than declaration.
At work
You do best with clear standards, defined scope and low chaos.
