The officials who served in these offices tended to be younger and of lower rank compared to other offices but had strong academic reputation and enjoyed special privileges and great prestige (For instance, censors were permitted to drink during working hours because of their function of criticizing the king).
Embedsmændene, som tjenestegjorde i de tre organisationer, var ofte yngre og med lavere status end andre embedsmænd, men havde til gengæld et stærkt akademisk ry, og nød godt af privilegier og prestige (for eksempel kunne de, som drev med censur, drikke alkohol i arbejdstiden, fordi de også skulle kritisere kongen).
