What this test adds
The scale focuses on standards, detail and finishing work, helping you compare the result with your own work habits.
A small next step
Before one task this week, write the finish rule down: the hour you will stop, the version you will send, the reader it has to satisfy. Afterwards write one line about what a review past that point would have changed. Most of what this test can give you lives in that line.
