Do you like doing the same things over and over in a calm environment? Do people tell you they can set their watch by the time you get up every day, even on weekends?
Do you have excellent attention to detail and like to make sure all work is done right? Do you double check and triple check your work for quality? Are you dependable and like to-do lists? Once you find something work or a hobby you like, are you completely committed to it? Are you better at your favorite hobby (fishing, gardening, cooking, working on engines, or whatever) than most people? Are checklists your best friend with you enjoying working on one item at a time?
