Hi everyone!
Recently, I've come to realize that I am quite careless regarding details.
Since childhood, I've never, ever really given a damn whether or not my socks matched or not. Whenever my peers (or even a few teachers) saw my mismatched socks, they would always tease jokingly saying, "Look at your socks! You never match them!" or "How come you don't match your socks?" It made absolutely no sense when I was a child, and I couldn't comprehend why they cared so much. Now, I can finally conclude that it could be a result of different type tendencies, or how some individuals were raised.
Recently, I've also landed a bookkeeping position which has further emphasized my weakness with details. My job consists mostly of data-entry, and I didn't realize that this type of task would be so difficult. Every single piece of data must be perfect, but I find myself messing up on a lot of aspects of this job. For example, instead of "2012" I'd accident put in "2013," or I'd enter things into wrong accounts without noticing, and I'd be mixing up my letters for a lot of the words.. (Purchsaes instead of purchases).
I feel that these mistakes are driving my Perfectionist with details, Sensor boss over the edge. He is quite perfectionistic with the tiniest of details. Details that I just don't see that are worth being perfectionistic for (such as having every single paper aligned perfectly in book binding). These tendencies make him perfect for this type of work.
He is not very strong in the area of writing, though. He doesn't care about spelling errors within emails, nor does he care about his writing style whatsoever. I may not be perfect, but I feel I have perfectionistic tendencies when it comes to writing (which is quite ironic due to my typing errors in data entry). Things that I am perfectionistic for, he isn't.
I'd love to hear your opinion on this. Is this weakness and carelessness in these sorts of details overall an "N" thing? Or is it just me being mildly dyslexic and careless?
