7.  1‘act:  The  success  with  which  the  employee  is  able
to  deal  with  his  superiors  and  fellow  workers.
8.  Executive  Ability:  The  success  which  the  worker
shows  in  handling  problems  which  require  the  directing
of  others.
9.  Orderliness:  The  system  and  neatness  which  the
worker  shows  in  the  arrangement  and  execution  of  his
work.
10.  Habits:  The  traits  manifested  by  the  worker  with
reference  to  personal  appearance,  use  of  stimulants,  language, ­
  etc.
These  qualities  are  by  no  means  exhaustive  or  unambiguous. ­
  However,  it  will  be  found  that  any  attempt  on
the  part  of  an  individual  or  a  committee  to  enumerate
and  outline  a  set  of  leading  qualities  will  lead  to  an  almost
endless  discussion,  without  producing  any  completely
satisfying  conclusions.  As  an  example  of  the  results  of
one  such  discussion,  occupying  a  period  of  several  weeks,
the  following  chart  is  given:
