In their worldview, their actions and their thoughts — in everything — they lean on traditions, canons, logic and rules that already exist (those of their family, of society). “That is how it is done”, “that is how one should live”, “that is the right way to act”. Without such a dependable, stable footing they are tormented by doubt and by the difficulty of choosing “the right way”. A need for guidance from outside.
Disharmonious and Conflict-Prone Traits
- They easily fall under the influence of people who are more certain that they are right (the manic type, for instance) and who can give a logical justification and proof for everything.
- It is hard for them to depart from the instructions (inflexibility), from logic, from the rules.
- An underdeveloped inner core of their own, independent of outside rules and stereotypes.
- They are capable of cruelty if it is “traditional” and logically justified.
- Difficulty in choosing when there is no obvious, correct solution; bewilderment in the face of the unknown and the unpredictable in life; doubt.
- They close their eyes to facts and to reality if these cannot be described by the existing laws and rules.
Harmonious Traits
- Decency (I will not sell out a friend or my country).
- An ability to adapt to any rules, traditions and instructions of society and of their surroundings (adaptability).
- Dependability, precision, reliability, clarity in carrying out “instructions”.
- Compliance, “good” behaviour.
- Neatness.
- Predictability, reliability, stability.
- Clannishness, traditionalism (keeping traditions).
- Honesty.
- Respect for “eternal values”, for traditions, rules, norms and canons.
Fears, Sources of Displeasure
- The absence of a dependable, stable moral and ethical footing, of its clarity, logic, consistency and comprehensibility. Social chaos, anarchy.
- Being unable to make the right choice.
- Falling short of the existing rules and traditions, being unable to keep to them.
- Stupidity, illogicality.
- Changes to the existing order and rules, having them questioned or corrected.
Sources of Pleasure
- Zealously keeping to the rules and traditions of their family, their society, their religion.
- Praise and reward for the correct, righteous, exact fulfilment of rules and traditions; confirmation that their behaviour and thinking are as they should be.
- Knowing themselves to be part of a society, a company, a clan, a social mechanism working faithfully for the great idea of the leader of the people, of the boss, of the head of the family.
- Having clear traditions, instructions and rules in their life, work and relationships, and an understanding of what is right.
Careers (Comfortable, Self-Actualizing)
- A soldier (in the ranks)
- A minister of religion, a churchman (in the ranks)
- A traditional scientist (not an innovator; research within an existing paradigm)
- Traditional programmers, logicians
- Nursery teachers, primary school teachers (that is, up to the point where the children rebel)
- Posts that call for following clear rules, instructions and traditions, and for precision, neatness and correctness in carrying something out.
Games – Roles – Manipulations
- That is wrong, that is not how it is done.
- That is indecent, immoral, unprincipled.
- Tell me what to do and how to be, give me an instruction, a recipe, a “magic pill”.
- Such things do not happen; this cannot be, because it cannot be. It contradicts the laws of logic and of physics.
Appearance
Strictly within the traditions and rules of their surroundings
Motor Activity
“Doubting”, “timid”, “checking itself”, “just as they were taught”
Personality Development (Paths)
- Developing flexibility, the ability to switch from one set of rules to another, the possibility of departing from the rules and from logic, of adjusting the laws to fit reality.
- Looking for a foundation of their own, for independence from other people's rules, for their own inner core and their own opinion.
- Developing the ability to trust their own feelings and what they experience (living not only by the mind and by logic, but also by the heart).
