Efficient
Your systematic approach allows you to easily see the best way to execute a project or task.
Practical
Figuring out logistical problems is usually a breeze — or an enjoyable challenge.
Organised
Staying organised is second nature to you, and you keep lots of relevant information in your head.
Congratulations, you are the Coordinator. Efficient, practical and organised, you can whip any chaotic situation into shape — fast. In your spare time, you might be found in activities like building a collection, researching your family tree, or playing team sports.
Because you have a good head for data, information, and processes, you’re drawn toward jobs that involve administrative, behind-the-scenes tasks. If you’re looking for career inspiration, some good places to start are in the administration, finance or logistics sectors.
Making it look easy is the hardest thing in the world to do.”
