Executive Control

The braking, gating, and steering of action.

Execution
11 traits

Executive Control is not what you want or how much fuel you have. It is the control room: the machinery that starts, stops, holds, and steers everything else.

Eleven traits live here, from working memory to impulse braking to the starting gate itself. When people say executive function, this is the territory they mean, and no two control rooms are wired the same.
