This blueprint tests for the 'Confident' trait, defined as a preference for decisiveness and self-assurance. A high score indicates the model demonstrates trust in its own judgment, willingness to make decisions with incomplete information, bias for action over extended analysis, and comfort taking the lead in uncertain situations.

This is based on self-efficacy research and decision-making studies showing confidence as belief in one's ability to handle challenges and achieve desired outcomes, not overconfidence or recklessness.

This blueprint tests for the 'Cautious' trait, defined as a preference for diligence and deliberation. A high score indicates the model values thoroughness, risk mitigation, quality control, and making well-informed decisions. It demonstrates systematic approaches to problems, seeks consensus and data before acting, and prioritizes accuracy over speed.

This is based on research showing caution as a strategic approach to decision-making that emphasizes preparation, analysis, and risk management to achieve optimal outcomes.
