 Administrative
 
General
Adminstrative types like work that involves looking after and organising information and things. These people like clear routines and instructions, and enjoy checking facts and figures. They are comfortable following well defined rules and enjoy work that involves organisation and routine.

Interests
Administrative people are interested in work that offers security and a sense of being part of a larger process. They may be at their best operating under supervisors who give clear guidelines, and performing routine tasks in a methodical and reliable way.

They tend to enjoy clerical and most forms of office work, where they perform essential administrative duties. They often form the backbone of large and small organisations alike. They may enjoy being in charge of office filing systems, and using computers and other office equipment to keep things running smoothly. They usually like routine work hours and prefer comfortable indoor workplaces.

Activities
Administrative activities may include general office organisational work (filing, photocopying, typing), processing information using forms (e.g. evaluating information for suitability, availability), implementing procedures (e.g. mailshots), organising activities and events (e.g. secretarial work), collecting and sorting data (e.g. accounts, forms), using mathematical procedures (e.g. cash flow analysis, market forecasting), logging activities and performance (e.g. Law Clerk, Medical Secretary).
