General characteristics

He is quick-witted, logical and rational; this person has the most down-to-earth personality of all the types. He won't stand for vague theories or woolly thinking, demanding disciplined and clear thought from his colleagues. He lives around his work schedule, and enjoys teaching others how to achieve their objectives, from making a cup of tea to building a rocket!

He places a high value on keeping his word, and therefore, will closely examine any task or assignment, before committing himself to it. Given his acuity at spotting omissions or false assumptions, it is quite likely that the project will need redefining, before he is willing to go ahead. So if you want to make the best use of his abilities, make sure you give him plenty of notice to plan out his approach - give him all the information, and then trust it to his judgement to deliver - trying to pressurize him just won't work! Once he is committed, however, he will go directly for his goal, playing by the rules, with a sound evaluation of the work involved, and the end result will be of a high quality. Whilst holding a great respect for rules and regulations, he will strongly oppose them, if he feels; they are discriminatory or unnecessarily restrictive.

Whilst he will endeavour to be attentive, understanding, and to accommodate the needs of other people, he'll only go so far as is necessary to support a practical, visible purpose. He is not interested in abstract, theoretical generalizations; he maintains a balanced focus on the real issues at hand. Whilst not given to aggression, he will actively defend his point of view against any amount of pressure, and is not afraid of challenging authority when he feels the necessity.

He is an accomplished, almost professional host at home; he applies the same precision to organizing a dinner as to organizing a military campaign! being intensely aware of the impression his guests will have, his living space will be meticulously organized both for work and for fun!

He is a conservative dresser, he buys high-quality clothes and looks after them, he doesn't pay any particular attention to fashion, but, he still manages to appear elegant and fresh!

He is wary of excess emotion, believing that is leads to unnecessary exhaustion, he nonetheless, likes to know the emotional state of his friends and acquaintances, but will retreat if faced with too much emotion, perceiving it as dangerous. While acknowledging people's positive qualities, he is not slow to point out problems that they have not dealt with, and that they could be more active in resolving them. His tendency to control his emotions, and to avoid uncontrolled outbursts, can sometimes backfire, and bring him out of his retreat, all guns blazing. If he feels you harbour a critical attitude towards him, he can sometimes come out with surprisingly hostile comments - a sort of pre-emptive strike, even though, he knows he may regret it. This is pretty much a strategy of last resort, however, because, once having issued a criticism or an expressed a point of view, the last thing he's able to do is back down, apologize or admit he was wrong! Even if you do manage to provoke him to fury, it will subside quickly and be forgotten as soon as the problem is dealt with - his assertiveness does not necessarily mean 'victory at any cost'.

He is rather insecure about the future, he feels the need to anticipate and work around, a bewildering variety of imagined dangers. He is averse to sudden change, he prefers a gradual, orderly progress through life, stable relationships and tried and trusted methods. Preferring to trust in traditional beliefs and systems, he is, at heart a conservative, and approaches any new or radical idea with a great deal of scepticism and caution - the old way may have its limitations, but it's better to put up with those limitations than risk the insecurity of the new method!

Social Life

His communication style, not surprisingly, is quite formal, direct, and pedantic even! H is disinclined to engage in familiarities, trivial chat or frivolity, his dedication to order and logic can be quite daunting at times, especially during times of crisis. His workplace has to be ordered, containing nothing superfluous to the task at hand. He does not take opposition to his style of working well, and can rise to sudden anger if he feels he's being criticized by those who are not competent enough to do so.

The ideal partner for this type is someone who can be a constant source of love, trust and hope - if he doesn't find such a partner he will tend to become morose, pedantic, and a constant complainer! Although he keeps his emotions well hidden, he very much appreciates having a strong bond with his loved ones, preferring to establish a quiet and empathetic trust over exaggerated passion. He likes to keep in touch with his friends and let them know he values them, but even in extreme situations he's unlikely to rely upon his feelings and emotions to guide him, preferring always to draw his decisions from logic. Having said that, he is sensitive underneath and prone to sentiment, he takes a long time to get to know people, he is, perhaps, because of his awkwardness with emotions, he sometimes is too ready to respond to appeals for help, and will take it to heart if he feels he's been used. True to character though, he doesn't really like to bear grudges, and will gladly forgive you if you ask him to!

Life at Work

He is appreciative of his colleagues' knowledge and professional competence; he is appreciative of their skills and personal qualities, and likes to understand people's behaviour, in terms of logic.

He has an aversion to taking any action without thorough research; he will carry out exhaustive, detailed research before embarking on any task. For instance, before giving a presentation, he will have gathered information about the people he's presenting it to, not only, has he researched the data he's presenting, but the sources of that data, analysed it thoroughly, rehearsed it three or four times, practiced answering any questions that may arise, and re-written the presentation, should he come across any inaccuracies or omissions!

He has a thoroughly systematic approach; he is a sober realist and won't leave anything to chance. Any book he reads will be read from cover to cover, with a thorough understanding of detail. Where there is a need for having management of complex and detailed systems, this person is irreplaceable!

He presents information in a clear-cut manner, strictly and hierarchically organized, based on a wide accumulation of facts and knowledge from many fields of human activity. In business, he manages his projects sequentially and logically through to their successful completion. He is insistent on achieving the best possible quality, he will not be pushed to a hasty conclusion without examining the logic of what is being proposed, motives and likely causes and consequences, although this can make him appear obstinate at times, he is not without the capacity to view his own point of view objectively, and once convinced that he has a grasp of all the facts and implications of a situation, sets to work decisively and effectively. Having selected the most favourable strategy - i.e. the one most likely to give the best result in by the most efficient means, he then shows a facility to choose the best people for the job and to manage the operations to achieve the success of the project.

He is a demanding leader, expecting high productivity and high quality from himself and others, and often working long hours, for days at a time, with a constant eye to managing the teams priorities, logically and efficiently, to reach his central objective. Although he likes to stay busy, he'll benefit from taking a break at regular intervals if he is to maintain his focus. His strong, practical mind makes him a harsh judge of people who engage in fantasy or overly 'creative' projects - if you can't apply a direct solution to a concrete problem; you're not much use to him!

Love & Sex life

He enjoys playfulness and gentleness, in their erotic life. He pays attention to the spiritual side of sex, and appreciates tenderness and subtlety, but at heart they enjoy a good dose of naughtiness!

Strong Points

He is active, energetic and practical. He makes a good manager, creating a harmonious work environment, and is good at co-ordinating disparate activities. He is also pragmatic, efficient, rational and good with money. He meets his agreements, plans his time well and is prudent and ordered. He doesn't take unnecessary risks!

Weak Points

He is overly conservative and doesn't like compromising. He can't take criticism, but remains highly critical of others and he is an authoritarian. He is not good at praising and appreciating others, he's impatient and doesn't deal with stress very well. He can be irritable, pedantic, and generally, ill-tempered and boring!

Recommendations

Try to be more flexible, liberal and less competitive. Try and be more tolerant, understanding and patient. Chill out! Do something other than work, once in a while!
