Great list.

I would add:

a. Does not care what the latest shopping cart survey says (or at least does not consider the survey to be a priority).

b. Prefers a multi-pocket vest to a bow tie.

c. Considers cussing part and parcel of multicultural communications

Stan, I know has his own.

Tom

Now that you mention it, I've reduced the initial list to 4 items and add Tom's 3.

I only really have one other. Their first 2 tours must be a nightmare, which would null and void item 16. Otherwise, I'd settle on any given day for items 3, 11 and 16 and still add Tom's 3.

His or her PT scores can be exchanged for 'ability to get along with others'.
