Temperament

Group Properties

See the world as a field of separate potentials - objects, subjects, and situations that can be explored, tested, played with (Possibilities Intuiting), or competed against and overpowered (Power Sensing). Drawn toward the new and untried, opposition and resistance register as invitation rather than obstacle. Inhibitory systems run weak by nature.

Questions: "What is this?", "Who is this?" - directed outward at everything around them. "Let me check" is the primary reaction.

Semantics: surprises, improvisations, games, wagers, fights, experiments, risks, provocations, tricks, disruptions, manipulations, challenges.

Work mode: surges rather than sustains - extreme and unplanned situations raise energy, monotony depletes it.

Emotionality: externally triggered, wide-range swings between negative and positive. Fast discharge - states don't accumulate, but the swings themselves are large.

Conflict: improvise, reroute, exploit available leverage until the goal yields or all angles are exhausted - then abandon it entirely.

Physical restlessness, shifting gaze, rotational movement.

Dynamics

Flexible-Maneuverable (same): identical provocative and competitive drives amplify each other - escalation is fast and mutual, open conflict surfaces quickly.

Linear-Assertive: shared external orientation aligns on activity level, friction emerges when FM's improvisational pivots run into LA's sustained linear pressure on shared work.

Balanced-Stable: FM's provocation and rapid task-switching target exactly what BS protects most - emotional containment and uninterrupted focus. Irritation is slow to form but reliable.

Receptive-Adaptive: complementary at low intensity - FM activates, RA absorbs. Under joint active work, FM's pressure meets RA's withdrawal and the gap becomes a persistent drag.
