More description of a precisionist

A Precisionist is a systematic thinker who tends to follow procedures in both personal and business life. Proceeding in an orderly, predetermined manner, they are precise and attentive to detail. They act in a highly tactful, diplomatic fashion and rarely antagonize their associates consciously. Extremely conscientious, they painstakingly require accuracy in work and maintain high standards. They tend to get bogged down in details, particularly when decisions must be made. Precisionists want standard operating procedures and no sudden changes.

Precisionists like a protected and secure environment governed by rules and regulations. They like people, but prefer a few close friends to many who aren’t as close. They like small groups rather than crowd.

Precisionists are correct most of the time due to how precise they are. They are overly sensitive and don’t handle critique well. They need to develop confidence and be more independent. They are very concerned about what people think of them and they avoid conflict. Exactness is imperative in everything Precisionists do. They can be counted on to carry out any tasks correctly. They want exact facts and figures before they will make a decision; they feel uneasy when forced to make a quick decision.

Precisionists often keep feelings to themselves. Others may not be aware of their strong beliefs. They do not blow up easily, but if after a point their feelings will be known to everyone. They want a steady environment which promotes security. This is true for home and work environments, as the more stable the environment, the happier they are.
