Orderliness (Conscientiousness facet)

Orderliness is the organization/systemization aspect of Conscientiousness. It captures preference for having things neat, organized, and planned.

High Orderliness: makes lists, organizes spaces, plans ahead, prefers written procedures. Low Orderliness: keeps things flexible, works in apparent chaos, adapts on the fly, relies on intuition.

Low Orderliness + high Conscientiousness creates an interesting profile: person cares about quality and deadlines but does it through last-minute bursts rather than planning. High Orderliness + low Conscientiousness creates the "organized procrastinator" — neat desk, abandoned projects.
