The Definition
You begin by asking, “What is the right thing to do?” You are sensitive to how everything in the world is interdependent, how movement in one part of the world causes everything else to move as well. Alive to this interconnectedness, you feel compelled to keep everything aligned. This need for alignment might be organizational—you sense when your world is disorganized and you get a kick out of restoring everything back to its rightful place. Or it might be ethical—you are acutely aware of who is responsible for what, and you are quick to take action if someone doesn’t live up to her responsibilities. You have no problem calling her out if she hasn’t followed through, and you are just as willing to call yourself out when you drop the ball.
You see the commitments we make to one another as threads that connect us and allow us to share in each other’s success. It pains you when you see these threads break, and so you are their passionate protector. At your best, you are our conscience, helping us realize how much we owe one another and how much we rely on one another. You hold us together.
