  > If by that you mean you were then unable to collaborate with them, perhaps you have less of this than you imagined? I am not an English native speaker, so perhaps I misunderstand some subtleties that exist in the English language, but not in the German translation of the word "conscientiousness". The dictionary translates "conscientiousness" to German "Gewissenhaftigkeit" and "Pflichtbewusstsein". I tend to work hard - thus I am conscientious. But I also expect other people to do so - so I don't tolerate loafing on my behalf; again a trait of "conscientiousness", but exactly what leads to difficulties working together with other people who are less conscientious.
