Accommodating and often deferential to others in group settings

You are likely to be careful and organized in your work style, and viewed as hard-working and dependable. You are likely attentive to detail and inclined to follow the rules. Across a wide range of job roles, high conscientiousness scores are linked to good performance in the workplace.
You are likely to have a very strong inner drive, which should see you viewed as driven and committed. Team members will generally describe you as motivated to achieve your goals.
You generally have a congenial persona when dealing with others in work settings. You are likely to defer to others and favor social harmony over confrontation or direct expressions that may create friction. When you do express yourself forcefully it likely means you feel strongly about something, and co-workers will generally recognize this.
The Openness to Experience trait measures the extent to which you favor experimentation and exploring new concepts, as opposed to being down to earth, conventional, and favoring the familiar over the novel. You scored in the middle of the range for this trait, suggesting that while not averse to experimenting or exploring novel areas, you may generally prefer conventional approaches and routines.
You should strive to balance doing great work with getting it done in a timely manner. Perfectionism and other pitfalls inherent to highly diligent people can reduce your effectiveness. Don't get so focused on the details that you lose sight of the bigger picture. It's important for you to always keep an eye on the greater strategy, and to ensure your efforts are aligned with achieving it.
Your strong inner motivation and drive are likely to see you do well in a variety of tasks, even in tasks that you do not find intrinsically enjoyable. This strong inner drive can be best utilized in high impact activities where your motivation should see you achieving strong outcomes.
You are congenial by nature and have a tendency to defer to others at times. Listening to others' opinions is important, but there are times where you will need to assert yourself, even if it doesn't come naturally, in order to achieve the best outcomes.
Effective performance is often a combination of getting things done and interacting well with others. There are times when remaining focused on getting work done is the best approach and times when spending more time engaging with others is beneficial. It may benefit you to take a moment to consider the right balance for a particular job and where you may need to rebalance.
Knowing when to take a creative approach is important to accomplishing goals. However, there are also times when using tried and true methods are best for getting things done. The balance is in understanding the situation at hand, quickly learning the relevant history of what has already been attempted, and capitalizing on the more effective strategy.
Persisting is an important characteristic in the accomplishment of tasks and deliverables. However, there may be times when trying a different approach is more beneficial than just trying harder in the same direction. Knowing when to step back and assess the effectiveness of one's approach, and being open to persisting in a new direction, can meaningfully contribute to accomplishing your objectives.
