What drives performance in this field
Skilled trades roles require high conscientiousness applied to physical craft — precision, reliability, and mastery of complex technical procedures. Extraversion is the main differentiator: construction managers and client-facing contractors need sustained social energy; technical trades roles (electrician, HVAC, plumber) are more introverted-compatible.
