She has observed Akhil, who is quiet and reserved and interacts relatively little with his work peers. He is very bright, a hard-worker, and very reliable in doing detailed, structured work. He has never been observed to express either positive or negative emotions. The other candidate, Urmi, is talkative and outgoing. She interacts easily with others and has a warm , outgoing style. She is sometimes careless about details and is easily bored with repetitive, routine work. However, she enjoys solving new problems and makes good decisions in ambiguous siuations. Her peers can tell what Urmi is feeling because she is quite expressive, but she has never let her emotions get out of control at work when under stress. The more difficult the problem, the more she enjoys it.
