Who is The Builder?
Builders are reserved, practical, direct and highly conscientious. You value accuracy, competence and well-made work. You prefer facts to speculation and clear rules to vague guidelines.
You work steadily and independently, and people know your work will be done right. You may come across as serious or critical, but your standards come from wanting things to work.

Personality is only one factor in career fit. Interests, skills and values matter just as much.
