Simon is a steady individual who lends a quiet stability to everything. One of his outstanding traits is economy of effort. He can complete practical tasks and do repetitive work effectively. Simon's work style is a balance of structure and responsibility with an awareness of others' needs. He tends to be there when he is needed, offering low-key stability and strength to people and situations in need. He does things in a routine manner and is consistent, conscientious and reliable. Simon tends to be alert and often uncannily correct. It is as if he has an antenna that enables him to detect dangers long before other people do
