A worker who can be counted on to complete tasks without constant supervision is said to have what trait?

• A. Reliability
• B. Punctuality
• C. Creativity
• D. Adaptability

Answer: (A)

Reliability means you can count on someone to do what they say they’ll do, consistently and without needing constant supervision. When a worker completes tasks without needing close oversight, they demonstrate dependable performance, steady quality, and timely completion. This trust lets supervisors assign work with the expectation that it will be finished properly and on schedule.

Punctuality is about being on time, which is related but narrower; a person can be punctual yet still require supervision to finish tasks. Creativity focuses on generating new ideas, not on dependable task completion. Adaptability is about adjusting to changing conditions, rather than consistently delivering work without supervision.
