Assessors apply creative focus to practical, workable concepts and make them doable.

They are good at explaining their ideas and the steps required to reach their goals. They are organized and often have a step by step action plan to assure a good result. They can be quite verbal in stating their dissatisfaction and in criticising others who are not contributing.
