Is ok to say that a person has a pain-staking character?

Question:Does that make sense?

Answers:
hmm...
1. it's painstaking, not pain-staking.
2. painstaking means "taking or characterized by taking pains or trouble; expending or showing diligent care and effort; careful" and examples are a painstaking craftsman or a painstaking research.
3. it makes sense but is not an appropriate word to use... how about substituting with any of the following adjectives? meticulous, careful, conscientious, earnest, exacting, fussy, hard-working, heedful, industrious, persevering, picky, scrupulous, etc.

helped? :D
