“The zoo hypothesis speculates on the assumed behavior and existence of technologically advanced extraterrestrial life and the reasons they refrain from contacting Earth. It is one of many theoretical explanations for the Fermi paradox. The hypothesis states that alien life intentionally avoids communication with Earth to allow for natural evolution and sociocultural development, and avoiding interplanetary contamination, similar to people observing animals at a zoo. The hypothesis seeks to explain the apparent absence of extraterrestrial life despite its generally accepted plausibility and hence the reasonable expectation of its existence.”

They are more likely to be organised and methodical in their approach. Non-creative individuals often have a logical mindset and can think logically about a problem. While they may not be quick to embrace new ideas or take risks, their dependability and consistency are highly valuable in a business setting.
