more pragmatic and efficient (I try to let it go once in a while)
higher attention to details (sometimes I feel like sherlock holmes, noticing stuff that others do not)
failure scenarios (or paranoia) - I cannot stop analyze every action or scenario where something will go wrong. "If you leave this chair here most likely someone will open that door and trip over it" kind of things. I smell disasters miles away :))

Yes to all of this! I think problem solving and pragmatism are two points I can relate to heavily.
The scenarios thing is something I identify with - it's like when you learn an instrument and suddenly start analysing every song that comes on.
