The strengths and weaknesses of the observer
He prefers to deal with things rather than people. He is a thinker and
tinkerer who, if he has enough time, comes up with excellent
solutions. In doing so, he is primarily interested in the matter at hand
and almost not at all in other people. He is an expert who likes to solve
complicated problems, conduct investigations or make analyses. With
patience and meticulousness, he immerses himself in his work and is
happy when no one disturbs him. His work is very demanding and
challenging. He sets high standards for its quality - and also for
himself. The observer has the ability to maintain an overview of the
whole and to provide an overall view. In this way, he enables others
to find orientation and to recognize their contribution to the whole.

The observer has basically no interest in other people - but this
does not apply to his closest family. With other people he is
impressed by knowledge and intellect. He is not available for chit-
chat and small talk. He is skeptical about everything new. He
needs time to convince himself of its usefulness through intensive
analysis. He is motivated by challenges and the opportunity to
expand his knowledge and deal intensively with a problem.
