Understanding an Administrative Nature

The tendency to focus on details, organize and get work accomplished, and delegate responsibility.

People with a strong Administrative Nature are good at delegating responsibility, even though they may require someone else to set the vision for them if they decide to take the behind-the-scenes role. They are detail-oriented people who have an innate urge to make plans and goals, and to see them through to completion. They are meticulous about details, and prove to be great taskmasters - creating to-do lists, schedules, and most importantly, deadlines.
