This is what makes them able to make money out of nothing, as if it were growing on trees. They are practical, pragmatic, intelligent, and they use that famous intelligence to build an empire. Reason and logic are their weapons against any challenge and problem. Plus, they stay focused on one thing until they’ve solved it.

Negative traits
They hate it when people rush to do something because they know they will not be able to concentrate and focus fully. It will be done in a hurry, full of imperfections. However, when they have to make a decision on the spot, they do not step back. However, in life, they will have to make many of those decisions, so they need to prepare ahead of time. They have to find out what really matters to them to facilitate this process.
Usually, humans find it unbearably difficult to choose between the things that matter to us, the objects of our interest that captivate us. Instead, they are fully engaged in analyzing the logical reasoning behind the ups and downs of the given options.
Controlling everything is impossible, so they settle for what they have at hand. They tend to be too stubborn, to build a rigid and immutable mindset to face the toughest challenges, and this is obviously bad in the long run.
They give up flexibility and adaptability for stability and comfort. Sure, it's a kind of immediate gratification that works great in the present, but what about the future? What if there is something that completely turns their life upside down?
