Pace

Overall rate of task completion.

  • Low / Steady - Patient - Good with routine
  • High / Urgent - Driven - Fast-paced

People who prefer a steady pace are usually reflective and prefer to think things through before acting. And because routine is important to them, they probably find rushing from one activity to the next stressful, believing that it’s more important to work carefully than quickly.

People who prefer an urgent pace can become frustrated when results don’t come quickly. If a project stalls, they don’t have trouble picking up the slack. They prefer to multitask, moving swiftly from one thing to the next, and frequently get restless if they have little to do.
