Summary
Emma is a thoughtful, disciplined person who is particularly attentive to, careful of, and accurate with the details involved in her job. She identifies problems, and enjoys solving them, particularly within her area of expertise. She works at a steady, even pace, leveraging her background for the betterment of the team, company, or customer.

With experience and/or training, Emma will develop a high level of specialized expertise. She is serious and dedicated to her job and the company. Her work pace is steady and even-kneeled, and she is motivated by a real concern for getting work done thoroughly and correctly.

A modest and unassuming person, Emma works autonomously in her area of expertise. When working outside of her expertise, her drive is to seek specialized knowledge by finding definitive answers from written resources, authoritative management, or established subject-matter experts. She is most effective and productive when she works within or close to her own specialty and experience, and she prefers to stick to the proven way. If it becomes necessary for her to initiate or adopt change, she will need to see cold, hard, evidence to prove that the new way is proven, complete, and yields high-quality results. In addition, Emma will carefully plan the implementation to minimize problems and maximize results.

Emma is reserved and accommodating, expressing herself sincerely and factually. In general, she is rather cautious and conservative in her style, skeptical about anything new or unfamiliar or any change in the traditional way of doing things. Possessing the ability to strongly concentrate on the job at hand, she's most effective when given uninterrupted blocks of time. She has better-than-average aptitude for work that is analytical or technical in nature.
