Description
Main Essence
Distinguished by extreme accuracy, precision, and meticulous attention to detail in all work. Pedantic perfectionist who ensures flawless completion of tasks, often at the expense of time. Works methodically with structured, sequential processes - divides work into phases with planned reserves and never starts from the middle.
Highly reliable, predictable, and consistent in behavior and long-term interests. Follows laws, instructions, and established rules strictly, maintaining personal belongings in perfect order. Patient and persistent with strong self-control over desires, emotions, and behavior. Focuses relentlessly on single tasks for extended periods without distraction.
Conservative and resistant to change - suspicious and hostile toward anything new, foreign, or disruptive. Rarely changes opinions on any matter and uncompromisingly rejects anything contradicting his chosen system. Advocates for strict hierarchies, discipline, and extensive societal regulations with severe intolerance for protocol violations.
Thinks in rigid, literal, sequential patterns with minimal figurative language or metaphors. Struggles with probabilistic thinking, preferring quantified certainty and clear boundaries over ambiguity. Excels in formal logic and systematic classification but risks losing broader perspective when immersed in details. Limited imagination and creativity - struggles to generate new ideas. Finds rapid task switching challenging.
Specialized in precise business information backed by numbers and facts. Proves points by citing factual data he has meticulously gathered and organized.
Weak empathy and difficulty understanding others' perspectives - struggles to view situations from different viewpoints or imagine himself in others' places. Limited ability to model independent minds. Generally uninterested in other people, with very low need for social interaction. Prefers solitude and finds others' presence often discomforting. Maintains strict boundaries between himself and the external world.
Stable in mood, self-esteem, and personality structure with minimal fluctuations. Forms attachments infrequently but remains highly stable in them. Long memory for both good and bad - distrustful of strangers and loses trust for extended periods once noticing something negative.
Adheres strictly to social norms and ethical prohibitions of his environment, meticulously following protocols. Expects the same competence and rule-following from others that he demonstrates himself.
