What is a meticulous person?

[MitchelMcA]

I’ve heard the word "meticulous" used to describe people. Does it mean they’re just neat, or is there more to it?

A meticulous person pays great attention to detail and accuracy.

A meticulous person is someone who pays great attention to detail and is very careful and precise in what they do. Such a person double-checks their work, avoids mistakes, and ensures everything is done correctly and neatly.

For example, a meticulous student carefully reviews every answer before submitting a test.
