Consistency

You can quickly and easily arrive at decisions that are fair and equitable to all involved. You are also the creators and guardians of standards, policies and procedures, helping teams and organizations function efficiently and effectively.

Balance is important to you. You are keenly aware of the need to treat people the same, no matter what their station in life, so you do not want to see the scales tipped too far in any one person’s favor. In your view this leads to selfishness and individualism. It leads to a world where some people gain an unfair advantage because of their connections or their background or their greasing of the wheels. This is truly offensive to you. You see yourself as a guardian against it.

In direct contrast to this world of special favors, you believe that people function best in a consistent environment where the rules are clear and are applied to everyone equally. This is an environment where people know what is expected. It is predictable and evenhanded. It is fair. Here each person has an even chance to show his or her worth.

Take Action

The genius of Consistency talents lies in the way you easily and quickly make judgements that equally apply to everyone involved. As a result, people have confidence in you and see you as trustworthy.
