Vagy "tolerance for monotony" -
"Being a USPS worker is not for everyone. Those with a strong dislike for the federal government may find the regulations unbearable. Those who do not enjoy routine or do not have a tolerance for monotony may not fare well as a USPS worker. Those who enjoy and appreciate routine can find a very satisfying career with the USPS."

Azt hiszem, az "of" elöljáróval szakszerűbb, míg a "for" elöljáróval inkább köznyelvi, mint tudományos. "- diminished tolerance of monotony in living conditions. This is frequently associated with cosmonauts taking the initiative to seek new ways of doing things ..." ('Humans in Spaceflight' - Carolyn Leach Huntoon - 1996 - Medical - 600 pages)
A Merriam-Webster's dictionary of English usage szerint "The noun *tolerance* may be followed by any of several prepositions - of, to, for, toward..." ((while "tolerant" is never followed by "for"))

A hivatkozásként feltett idézet alapján bármelyik elöljárós alak helyes lehet nyelvtanilag, én mégis inkább az OF verziót használnám, mivel személyiségjegyről van szó. Három további idézet kifejezetten a kérdésben megjelölt tárgykörből:

"These are the primary work preference and personality factors .... The tolerance of monotonous work: the same single activity is repeated over and over..."
http://www.harrisonassessments.com/servlet/SampleReports?FIL...

"... described using personality attributes identified as masculine or feminine. ... greater tolerance of monotonous/repetitive work ..."
http://etd.ohiolink.edu/send-pdf.cgi/Froilan William S.pdf?o...

"Temperament refers to those aspects of an individual's personality, such as introversion ... frugal, reserved, tolerant of monotony, systematic and orderly..."
