Pattern Components

These people have high standards around the house and are best-matched with other high scorers in Order as their tolerance for disorder is low. Being with someone who doesn't share their standards would likely be a strain. They like to plan and schedule things and are most often the ones booking vacations and researching real estate.

While they can live with a poor planner as they're able to do the planning for the whole household, they may really struggle with a partner who is messy or disorganized to the extent it creates a chaotic effect in their own household or life at large. They do best when they seek out people who actively respect their desire for order.

Strengths

Organized people lean towards meticulousness, as does the space they work within. They keep things organized and have effective systems in place for everything from the arrangement of their desk to their ten-year career projection. They're likely the ones others consult about scheduling, management, bookkeeping, and the like. You remember everyone’s birthday and probably dress impeccably.

They may struggle with more creative and unstructured tasks. They should be mindful that while planning can be useful, sometimes they might seek to plan as a method of feeling like they're in control, when the right course of action is to accept ambiguity and uncertainty.
