vacillates, thinks for a long time before he decides on something. Often he is too cautious and
inactive at first, then, all of a sudden, starts taking risks hoping for luck. In concrete work, he
is either too meticulous and specifies everything to the last detail, or he's too much in a hurry
to finish it soon to start on the next job. Raw result doesn't baffle him: if needed, he will come

EIE often feels uneasy about any physical ailments and suffering. Has difficulty getting rid of
bad habits. In sexual matters, often falls to extremes: from indifference to perversion. Pays
much attention to his own appearance, especially surface aesthetics that can bring him much
joy or disappointment. In nutrition, he is capriciously selective and may combine products of
opposing tastes. Can be quite unpretentious with food, only care that it is provided for
regularly. Estimates attitudes of others by how much they are willing to do for him and how
tolerant they are of his strange tastes and habits. Does not feel well in confined spaces. May
choose the life of a recluse.
EIE is in need of a certain level of organization and order around himself, the absence of
which can even affect his physical well-being. Living within some framework of a strict
system does much good for him. Uncertainty, unpredictability, and constant changes of
schedule have poor effect on his health. He is very keen on catching the slightest deviation
from the usual scheme of events. Relaxes over meticulous studies that require concentration.
In his conclusions is often rather subjective and often makes generalizations that sound one-
sided. He likes systematic logic. Seeks to streamline everything, to limit it with what seems to
him as a reasonable a framework and rules, however, can make exceptions for himself.
At times he vigorously protests against use of coarse force and brutality. Often strives for
courteous and helpful conduct towards people, but in a fit of passion won't stop at anything.
His own strength increases dramatically in an extreme situation (e.g. panic, confusion). In
such cases, he behaves confidently. However, he becomes helpless to counter an
inappropriate use force if he has been emotionally and spiritually broken. In such situations
he resigns to fate as to an inevitability. Only use of direct force can snap him out of hysterical
state of being. A sudden strike sobers him up from his emotional excesses. He is in need of
external help to contain his uncontrollable emotions and reduce the grip that they have on
him.
EIE is often not sure of the durability of his relationships with other people. Thus he seeks a
constant verbal or other kind of reassurance. He treats his contestants with much jealousy and
is capable of predicting the development of their relationships over time. Criticizes the
manners and philosophical view points of others. Himself is either a loyal and devoted
partner or a Don Juan. His sore spot is the reliability of relations with people whom he trusts.
Those who have once misled him he does not forgive. He is quick to take offense and can be
vindictive. Prefers to keep at a distance from people. Often will greatly lower his own worth

hard work. Wishes for well-being and benefit of all mankind and is not satisfied with only
local and partial solutions to the problems. Will often take an uncompromising centrist stance
on issues that he perceives as only secondary. Looks for the most complex and exciting
enterprises. Worries a lot if he is criticized because he perceives this as a defeat of his ideals.
Has an innate feeling of own inferiority for which he compensates by demonstrative
behaviors.

others. Is perceptive of existing hierarchies. Does not take into account personal sentiments
when it comes to business. Cannot tolerate when someone takes his things or moves his
belongings without asking.
Sober realist: sets only feasible goals for himself and in most cases achieves them. If
explanations and warnings did not have any effect can shift to pressuring methods of

himself in control, tolerant of adversities. Will force himself to do that which is necessary but
uninteresting to him. Helps and protects those who are weak and defenseless. Looks after the
old and the sick. Can be lone-wolf fighter for justice who keeps a low profile.
In public, he holds himself politely and appropriately. Can make himself be cheerful and
sociable. Easily makes short-term, situational contacts. With his behavior evokes trust.

disposition. Even though he comes into close contact with many people, he rejects excessive
familiarity. Stern with family members. Loves to educate using terse statements. Reliable in

concessions and compromises. Chooses friends who have compatible views to his own. Uses
himself to judge the capabilities of others: "If I can do this, then why not others?" Knowledge
gained through direct experience serves as a substitute for intuition for him. Can trust
someone who is well-wishing and attentive listener, who does not take sides. Values
intelligent, artistically gifted people, may even forgive them selfish and unethical actions.
Often is in a gloomy, serious mood. Accumulates negative emotions. Periodically pours them
out on someone else and feels temporarily relieved. To be in good condition, he needs
frequent fluctuations of emotional background. Cannot stand to be pressured by negative
emotions - crying, whims, accusations. It is easier to give in for him than to ignore them.
Internally rather touchy and vulnerable, although does not show this considering it to be
weakness.

Gamma Quadra:
SEE: SEE is perceptive of the balance of power. He quickly detects who is strong and
who is weak, who can be pushed around and whom it's better not to touch. Looks for weak
spots in people who are close to him. Exerting pressure on these points, he is able to change
their behavior in a way that is most favorable for him. He himself is not susceptible to such
manner of pressuring, will skillfully dodge it. Knows how to stand up for himself. Reacts
boisterously when his freedom and opportunities are being limited. Orders around those who
are less resolute and decisive and less confident in themselves. With a stronger partner talks
on equal terms. Always finds a way to draw attention to himself.

how to tell someone precisely that which this person wants to hear from him. However, he
does not rush to fulfill his promises if he doesn't feel a particular need in this. Balances
between interests of the opposing groups, successfully negotiating and bargaining. If it's in
his interests, he easily reconciles with former adversaries. Knows how to mend and improve
previously broken relations. However, most often he plays on negative relations and dislikes
rather than on sympathies and positive relationships. He finds it difficult to break relations
that have run their course. Instead he will let a person know indirectly that he or she is no
longer interesting to him. Dislikes allowing people too close to himself, because he feels that
this imposes certain obligations on him. Easily strikes up acquaintances and new contacts and
feels better and more confident in groups of people rather than alone in everyday
environment.
Presents himself as an original, unusual personality which won't be fitted into any
frameworks. Inclined to contrast himself with others around him. Often can maintain a
conversation on any topic, little by little demonstrating that he is knowledgeable on a wide
variety of topics. Captures new information quickly, but mostly on the surface. Periodically
he is taken by reflections and contemplations, during which time he becomes self-absorbed.
At such times, it seems to him that people do not perceive him as he really is. Quite
capricious, moody and choosy. Will often highlight his broad potential, his opportunities and
great prospects. Often argues and does not readily agree, will defend his point of view and
values on principle.
Dislikes it when others don't take his arguments and conclusions on a given situation or
problem into consideration. Those who ignore his remarks he will consider to be his
opponents. Dependent on the established order within the area where he lives or works. May
complain about lack of organization and disorder, although won't enforce it himself, since he
doesn't want to ruin his relations and his actions are often not methodical. He only responds
to the already established hierarchy. With a person he communicates either from a lower
position, as a subordinate, or from a higher position, as their superior. With subordinates he is
not ceremonious. Cannot tolerate people around himself whom he dislikes, does everything in
his abilities in order to remove them. Doesn't have any system of action.
Feels enlivened and inspired when his time is taken up by matters. Otherwise, having an
excess of time, may lead a sedentary, lazy lifestyle, despairing and criticizing everything. He
enjoys constant change, development, contrariness. Often wants to leave for somewhere else

strongly inhibits any quick decisions. If he needs to, will always find something to pick on.

instructive stories from the past.
His mood depends on how well things are going for him. To improve his emotional state,
offer him some profitable or beneficial activity. Has an inclination to show generosity, up to
extravagance, when his mood is elevated, and frugality and stinginess when he is emotionally
depressed. In any case, emotions and personal relations are the most important thing for him.
He cannot work if the occupation is uninteresting to him. Any activity or undertaking can
turn into entertainment, make it feel like a show. Becomes very nervous and angry, if he is
outdone in business or if rewards and material benefits have been distributed in a way that he
thinks he is getting less than others. He can start a quarrel over this.

body and physiological processes. He is distinguished by his personal aesthetic taste, which
doesn't always coincide which the accepted tastes. When taking trips out to nature, he is
cautious, won't venture first to an unknown location. Conservative in his habits and home
life. Sometimes falls to an extreme and becomes indifference of his own appearance.
His productivity at work is highly dependent on his mood. When he is in high spirits, he will
undertake even hard work, but when he is not in the mood, then even very important work
will remain undone. Energetic in carrying out those tasks that can be done immediately. If
there is no quick returns, and ahead lies a lot of hard work, he soon cools down and looks for
another course of action. Excitement and emotional arousal increase his efficiency. Around
himself he creates an atmosphere of a celebration, a feast. Best at resolving his problems and
issues by informal means. Dissipates his energy in various directions: deals with several
things at once, easily switching from one to another. If the number of his interests continues
to grow, then his efficiency falls.
ILI: ILI attentively follows the flow of life. He is keenly perceptive of details and barely
discernible tendencies. Explains which causes have led to which consequences in present
situation. Immersed in the past, studies recurring phenomena. Due to associatively organized

Prudent in matters of comfort and health. Going out or going on a trip brings along a set of
objects that provide a guaranteed minimum level of convenience. Keeps himself to standards
of hygiene, maintains cleanliness. Puts in effort into keeping himself healthy, sometimes
resorting to traditional methods. Often is a food gourmand. Can prepare special dishes that
satisfy his tastes. Predisposed to use of high-quality, sophisticated products, although during
times of shortage is able to get by on very simple food. His external appearance is either
unkempt and neglected or, on the contrary, carefully devised in accord with the current
norms. This depends on his social circle and the nature of his audience.
Estimates attitudes towards himself by displays of emotions. Boisterous, intrusive, emotions

he finds irritating; they have a subduing and depressing effect on him. In extreme situations,
or when he feels hidden antagonism, he can openly express his annoyance, fly off the handle
and make demands in a sharp manner. If his state is poor, he transforms it into black humor.
Can deliver a short, acerbic remark. His gravitation towards other people is once again
dependent on his current mood. In high spirits he can even be obsessive and intrusive; in poor
mood he withdraws and rests in seclusion.
When in good physical shape, he is confident in himself, assertive, calls for decisive actions,
however, it rarely comes to implementation. He needs to be prodded from outside, requires
strong support. Absence of such support leads to demobilization and laziness. Direct
aggression is detestable to him; he opposes it in every way. He cannot endure protracted
confrontation – simply leaves or even falls ill. For his physical well-being engages in athletic
types of sports – tries to build stamina and overcome his natural weakness, toughens himself.
But to engage in this regularly he usually does not have enough willpower.
His emotional state depends on how he is treated by others. Feels depressed, if others do not
grant him attention, if nobody responds to his proposals and objections. If he is in poor mood,
do not try to comfort and cheer him, but leave him alone with his thoughts of express indirect
sympathy. In dealing with strangers, he can be polite, behave as a well-mannered and
intelligent person. Has a diplomatic streak; can work on reconciling the interests of all
parties. To close interpersonal distance and strike up a friendship, he jokes, behaves in a
playful and unrestrained manner. However, if the other party does not respond, he stop his
attempts at rapprochement.
Resents that knowledge and intellectual skill rarely lead to the desired results. He knows a
lot, but to come up with something himself is difficult for him. Skeptical about the prospects
of new initiations and adventurous ideas. Envisions and presents things as more complicated
than they really are. Although, he can instill hope into those who have been demoralized.

knows how to turn things around so that they bring him tangible benefits. Criticizes those
who, from his point of view, are engaged in useless theories. Adventurous, easily takes off at
any moment. Often takes up dynamic types of sports - running, hiking, climbing, etc. Not
afraid to travel and to change his place of residence. Bravely forwards objective proposals
and presses for their implementation. If the possibilities of the project have been exhausted,
quickly changes direction and switches to something new. Takes care of his finances and if
he has a sum of money tries to keep it turning over, playing on the price differences. Tries to
concentrate the levers of material interest in his hands.
LIE intuitively captures the main trends that develop over time. He is not afraid to take risks,
relying on his intuition. He is proactive and tries to act in advance, because he knows that
tomorrow it will be too late. LIE is usually one of the first people to take advantage of new
technologies and methods of organization. In his thoughts, he is constantly referencing the
past, analyzing past events and drawing lessons from them for the future. LIE is attempting to
find the basic laws of life and fate by analyzing that has occurred over time. He is interested
in all the unusual and mysterious phenomena. He tries to test them, to find their rational
basis.
An optimist - does not get discouraged under any circumstances. Life upheavals and stressful
events only toughen him and make more confident. He likes to laugh and entertain people.
Enters contact with someone by involving him with a humorous remark. His humor is often
sly and contain hints and double meanings. Easily enters into arguments and bets, especially
if he is challenged. When arguing his points is often ironic, ridicules the views of his
opponent. His irritability and hot temper may be unpleasant to others. However, he himself is
not perceptive of this and believes that he is simply exchanging opinions.
Can live and work in conditions of discomfort and lack of amenities. Nature usually endows
him with stamina and good health. Not picky about food and design of the his living space.
Little worried about his appearance. Has a tendency to wear the same clothing once he has
gotten used to it. Dresses up only when it's likely to have an impact concerning his personal
or professional relationships. Positively relates to those who relieve him from having to take
care of day-to-day matters and routine chores. Dislikes those who hide behind their weakness
and poor health. Behaves carelessly, may be frivolous by nature. A time falls to extreme in
relation to bad habits: either he openly engages and flaunts them, or he actively counters and
fights against them. These extremes apply to his sexual life.
LIE interacts with other people at close psychological distances. Democratic. Predisposed
towards positive attitude and friendliness on his territory. Feels relaxed in an atmosphere of
warm, sincere, soulful communication. One should settle disagreements with him in an
informal atmosphere, first persuading him of good intentions. He is much in need of reliable,
stable human relations. Due to his inability to immediately recognize falsity can allow
himself to get drawn into poor company and questionable enterprises. Appreciates reliable,
time-tested friends. Usually aware that he can be too insensitive and inattentive in relation to
others and is wary of this trait in himself. Ruining his relations with someone searches for
methods to make amends. To this end, gives gifts or shows a particular concern for his
partner.
Becomes active in extreme situations. Able to stand up for himself. Rejects emotional
pressuring. He is directed by the desire to direct, to lead, to achieve his goals using other
people to this purpose. However, he is adept at directing only those who are of the same mind
as him. In moments of emotional uplifts, he feels himself a strong personality, capable of
resolving any problems. However, if he doesn't find emotional support, his fighting spirits
quickly dwindle. Bold in romantic matters. Enjoys some measure of competition.
Venturesome and persistent if he is being turned down and resisted. Likes to throw a
challenge. A life that is calm, even, and unemotional makes him soft, clumsy, and ridiculous.

things he will always find what he needs. Monitors operative discipline and compliance with
the projected plans. However, he is usually not effective in regulating and controlling
processes. Obstinate in his understanding of the situation or problem. Predicts future
development of events too mechanistically, due to which his optimistic plans often fail.
Either usually a supporter of one strict system, deriving all the possible consequences from
this same system, or, conversely, does not structure information at all, giving in to an
arbitrary, random sequence.

futility. Takes up any activity with enjoyment only when he is confident of its success. Likes
to test himself at various activities. Thus often changes hobbies, profession, place of work,

him. He likes to experiment, to follow the unbeaten path, to fill the role of an inventor or
explorer. Wholly gives himself to his favorite occupation. Vain. If his abilities are not
appreciated, he inclined to put himself in opposition and contrast with others.
ESI: ESI sees how people reveal themselves in communication. He cannot be deceived by
pretense of friendliness. He critically assesses the behavior of those around him, but openly
expresses his opinions only when he feels offended. Remains insistent on his internal
subjective evaluation of a person; it is very difficult to convince him to reconsider and change
his views. In public, wears a mask of cold and unemotional person. At first acquaintance
sharply divides people into two categories - "his own" and "others". Others mostly cease to
exist for him, but to his own he becomes deeply attached. He is often sharp and
uncompromising with strangers, but forgives a lot for those who are in his inner circle.
Demonstrates his attitude towards someone by managing psychological distance, first
distancing a person, then bringing them closer.
ESI does not adapt to his partner but instead he seeks to impose his own line of conduct.
Adeptly discerns how much force he needs to apply to exert sufficient pressure on a person.
Keeps himself together until he reaches a critical point. If needed, readily defends himself
and people close to him. Knows how to teach his offender a lesson, sequentially increasing
the amount of pressure on him. Does not rest until he feels that his opponent is confused or
fallen in his fighting spirit. Moral victory for him is more important than a physical one. Does
not allow himself to be treated unceremoniously or for anyone else to impose their views on
him. Won't allow himself to be intimidated or provoked. Dislikes being coerced into doing
something and any unreasonable applications of force. His resistance is usually proportionate
to the degree of aggression directed at him.
ESI finds it difficult to make sense of conglomeration of vague, original ideas and insights
that are not based on established and recognized facts. Feels uneasy in situations that are
unpredictable and ambiguous. Observing someone compares his capabilities with his own:
"Can I do the same as him?" Either idealizes a person too much, or, on the contrary,
completely denies his capabilities. Does not trust those who are boastful, who advertise their
talents and abilities. Rarely gives out compliments and praises to others but with pleasure
accepts compliments in his address. Will not indulge a talented but self-centered and self-
satisfied individual. Does not recognize abilities that are not supplemented by labor. Finds it
difficult to claim attention himself and promote himself for a job. Waits to be noticed and
appreciated for his merits.
Seeks to analyze the situation from different angles and arrive at an univocal conclusion.
Dependent on norms, already established rules, and tested methods of action. Evaluates
everything from the point of view of common sense and rational self-interest. Forces himself
to do what is required of him by his environment and asks for the same from others. Needs to
keep at some physical distance. Keeps aside from anyone who irritates him. Avoids large
crowds of people.
ESI can truly relax and calm down only after strenuous work that has brought him some
concrete results. Quickly completes labor-intensive jobs so that he wouldn't have to return to
them again. Likes people who draw him into pragmatic activities. Practical in everyday
affairs. Will find a use for anything that he finds in his space. Likes things are are both
functional and aesthetically beautiful. Appreciates all that is beneficial and requires minimal
effort to achieve or maintain. Knows how to create comfortable conditions for work and
leisure time. Changes jobs if new place offers more benefits, but with difficulty abandons his
habitual way or life to adapt to new situation. The discomfort that he experiences during such
transitions and restructurings is very stressful and even frightening for him.
ESI becomes activated in situations where there is a shortage of time. He is oriented at quick
decisions and solutions, otherwise he feels irritated. Being nudged over minor details evokes
internal protest in him, but he rapidly mobilizes for significant goals and projects. It is better
to not give him much time to prepare; the more time he spends getting ready, the more
anxious and worried he grows, and the poorer the result will be. Internally ESI is
apprehensive. He thinks about dangers and negative outcomes that threaten him and his
relatives. Looks for philosophical and mystical ways of reasoning to attain a sense of
protection from the vagaries of fate. Will not allow himself to be taken by surprise, always
ready for contingencies. He has a good memory for the mistakes, failures, and shocks of the
past, from which he draws lessons for the future.
ESI is perceptive of the emotional state of a person. If a person is in a poor mood, he asks
about the reasons that caused it, however, he is often incapable of improving another's mood
and alleviating their worries. Instead he adapts himself to the moods of others. In a serious
situation he is emphatically formal. Among friends he is casually cheerful, even allowing
himself some cynical witticisms. Likes people who are cheerful and energetic, who know
how to loosen and relax others, how to reduce tensions and improve the mood, who have
confidence in the future. ESI needs a distraction from burdensome negative thoughts and
periodic emotional releases. He tries to avoid the drama of life and explosions of negative
emotions. He is too aware of the heavy impact these have on one's psyche and well-being. At
times he deliberately accelerates conflicts and dramatize situations to speed up their
resolution and settlement.
ESI cannot idle about without some concrete task. Idleness and joblessness oppress him. He
is constantly looking for something that he can do. Work serves as medicine for many of his
ailments. Dislikes appearing before others as messy and unattractive, or in poor physical
condition. If he falls ill, he immediately seeks treatment. Feels sympathy for those who are
weakened, sick, unsettled, dependent, vulnerable. Involuntarily desires to aid them with some
specific actions, help them overcome their crisis or get over their harmful habits. Appreciates
clean, healthy lifestyle. Will not tolerate a person who is physically repulsive to him or is
unhealthy in his instincts.
Delta Quadra:
IEE: The IEE (ENFp) has an excellent intuition for people. He adeptly assesses
motivation of others from disparate phrases, intonation, facial expressions, and peculiarities
of behavior. Easily guesses what another person is striving for. Learns quickly, for he is able
to grasp the main points of the issue. Has well-developed faculties of fantasy: often thinks up
stories with entertaining plot lines, creates imaginary scenes and events, easily envisions and
conceptualizes. Gravitates towards talented and unusual personalities. Knows how to
encourage and inspire people, generously gives compliments, enthusiastically describes
future activities and prospects. Offers multiple solutions for addressing the same problem.
Finds it unbearable to occupy himself with repetitive work; repetition generates boredom
which strongly depresses his spirits.
IEE, like no other, is discerning in the logic of human relations, especially acutely he sees the
causes and motivations that create complications and conflicts in intimate relationships and
friendships. It is easier for him, however, to maintain the present relations that are running
smoothly than to mend old breakups. He sensitively reacts to any antipathies and animosity.
Charming and sociable; will build relations with anyone, if this person is interesting to him.
Perceptive of which distance he needs to keep with which individual in social interaction,
although he doesn't always hold it. IEE knows what needs to be done to maintain a favorable
psychological atmosphere within a group. He gives advice on how to interact and
communicate with someone to become invaluable to them.
In extreme situations, IEE mobilizes and acts quite resolutely and decisively. Provides a
rebuff and resistance to any types of encroachment and invasions. He will respond to any
dictatorial and coercive attempts and retaliate with force. Very independent, but also won't
attempt to compel and drive others. Not afraid to speak out against a superior force. He can
go to an official or a manager of any rank and demand a resolution or implementation of
measures to address his problems. When he gets involved in arguments, IEE will actively and
sometimes aggressively assert his opinions and views. Suffers from irritability and edginess.
For this reason often has trouble with building up bodily tension.
IEE is unable to work effectively within a rigid system that imposes too many restrictions. He
dislikes it when his relations with others are controlled and regulated from the outside. Find it
difficult to perform meticulous work of the type of formal accounting. He often doesn't go
into the details but will instead grasp the general meaning. Due to this, he doesn't always
listen to another person to the very end before coming to a conclusion and voicing his advice,
which results in others feeling misunderstood. In his reasoning and formulation of objective
conclusions, he often errs on the side of subjective impressions and subjective ethics and may
ignore or dismiss the facts that contradict his own personal impressions. Though he will put
in an effort and take objective factors into account in cases when he doesn't want to leave a
poor impression of himself.
IEE is able to fully relax only in a thoroughly comfortable environment where he can feel
himself at home and not worry about complications. He needs substantial doses of pleasant
experiences; personal enjoyment plays a big role in his life. He loves it when he is
surrounded by comfort, domestic coziness, help and care shown in concrete actions. Due to
his preference for this kind of leisure, sometimes he makes an impression of a superficial,
high-spirited and carefree person. It is possible for him to get sucked into the vortex of
pleasant life which could lead to unpleasant consequences. He doesn't take care much of
himself and can do with very little, however, physical and emotional discomfort will
eventually undermine his health. He seeks the kind of lifestyle that isn't be too heavily
burdened with contention and the need to fight for one's existence.
His internal state and mood are dependent upon the nature of work that he has to do. If it's not
interesting or seems useless, then his mood drops. For this reason, IEE is not prone to
performing regular upkeep and maintenance of his living quarters. He has weak sense of
pragmatism and is not economical. If he becomes involved in organizing something, he does
it out of his creative interest, for the soul, for the idea, and not for profit. The best reward for
his labor is admiration, excitement and conveyance of positive emotions. The interplay of
connecting pleasure with business constitutes a large part of IEE's life - he tries to turn work
or studying into a kind of a game.
IEE concerns with and seeks to manage the time expenditures of those around him. He does
not tolerate people who don't act effectively or take away precious time. At the same time,
often he poorly manages his own time and is prone to tardiness. When explaining or telling
others about something, he follows his own tangents and associations, cannot relay
information in a brief compact form, because of this doesn't always fit into the allotted time.
For Advisor, it is important to monitor the ongoing development of the situation. Without
inspiration and hope, without changes for the better, he feels depressed. Easily believes in
optimistic promises, even though he understands that major changes take a while to
implement. He himself is not characterized by patience. If his attempts to contradict his fate
fail, then he gradually resigns himself to the inevitable.
IEE knows how to take the initiative and inspire people to action. But when his desire is lost,
he tries to find other people who will drive the project to completion without his direct
involvement. Internally, he is filled with conflicting thoughts and sad emotions. In order to
escape and distract himself, can bury himself in work. In this he often doesn't feel a sense of
measure and can overwork himself. In communication, he is emotional, independent, and
somewhat naive. However, these qualities help him to achieve success in seemingly hopeless
or very difficult undertakings. In a good mood, he effectively resolves the current operational
difficulties and obstructions. He quickly finds how to substitute a missing item, or even how
to completely do without it.
SLI: Learns about the world through first-hand experience and travel. Sensitive towards
all that disrupts the natural harmony. Rejects any artificiality, factitious displays, unhealthy
instincts. Caring in relations to close ones. If he sees that the person is not feeling well will
come to his aid. If he considers someone to be his friend, doesn't leave that person in need.
Perceptive of potentialities that are related to senses. In pursuit of sensory novelty often leads
an active way of life (fishing, hiking, swimming, travel, etc.). Cannot tolerate monotony and
descent into inertia. Internally sensitive and vulnerable, easily wounded, although does not
show this outwardly. In order to survive, adapts to the prevailing mores; if necessary, follows
the established norms.
SLI is economical and prudent in dealing with material resources. He is more likely to try to
mend old and worn out things than to throw them away. His mindset has a technological bent.
He searches for simple but effective methods for resolving problems. Before taking on some
task, SLI thinks over several options to achieve the desired result, and stops on the most
economical one. Works only by methods that are most convenient to him. Notes those who
shrink away from work and ponders about how to make them work or get rid of them.
Himself will do only that which is necessary. Works well with any instruments, masterfully
applies technical equipment. Often can work well with his hands. Constantly tries to improve
his knowledge, skill, and professional level in any chosen field of activity. Hopes for

time. Worries that he will be assigned an inconvenient for him schedule. In dealing with
people demonstrates a quality of "being taken in by life". Shows his skepticism by employing
specific kind of humor, ironizes. However, deep in his soul he remains an optimist and
doesn't lose hope in a positive outcome. In an emergency situation, he doesn't panic but looks
for ways to buy time. Follows and orients by his inner impressions to the external events.

"iceberg in the ocean", at other times – excited and energetic. Evaluates human relations by
degree of emotional displays. Turbulent emotions for him are an indicator of instability and
potentially poor relations. During a conflict does not get involved too deeply in the dispute,
but if he feels that his values have been trespassed upon he responds harshly. Won't be frank
with outsiders. Doesn't like it when someone tries to "peer into his soul" and penetrate into
his inner feelings. He must be understood without words.

noticed, he may lose all desire to try, or even fall sick if his abilities are not needed or
requested for a long time. Needs new, challenging situations and unusual problems that can
distract him from the monotony of everyday life. If he feels uninterested in something, he
will simply detach and go about his business. Needs to be inspired and encouraged to take up
a task, otherwise he will demobilize and fall into inertia and melancholy. Without new and
exciting goals, his mood drops. He responds well to a language of compliments and praises
that promises timely success. His state is optimal when the success is just out of reach, yet
nearby.

feelings that have been tested by time. In dealing with others, he sets his own psychological
distance and grows very anxious if someone transgresses it. Intolerant of intrusive and
imposing people. Smoothness of relations to him is an indispensable condition for living a

human weaknesses, gentle and forgiving of people.

into any attempts to pressure him. SLI estimates the potential and achievements of a man by
his rhythm speech, mannerisms, appearance. Possessing prior life experience can discern

external circumstances.

good predisposition and positive emotions, though sometimes does so too abruptly. Becomes
very hot tempered during arguments and disputes. When he is overtaken by emotions, he no
longer hears the opinions of others and stubbornly insists on his own view point. Never
openly admits that he was wrong. However, if a person remains discreet and restrained, and
does not submit to his pressuring, he becomes more attentive and cautious. Can curb and
restrain his own emotions by willful effort as well. Very much dislikes it when someone else
interferes in his affairs or forces him to redo his work. At such times can flare up, start
throwing objects, sharply turn around and leave.
The LSE assesses relations by another's ability to keep his word, to warn of their intent in
timely manner, to be punctual and come at appointed time. Appreciates those who do not
spare their time for him. Tries to prepare for everything in advance. Sudden changes of plans

sharpness and rough edges, deep inside the LSE is quite sentimental. However, it is difficult
to become close with him due to his high demands towards his partners.
LSE's own creative abilities become manifest when he is in a good mood. If he feels that the

continue on and go the full distance. Enjoys competition, games, dynamic types of sports.

When he loses orientation or sees no solutions, becomes nervous, agitated, loses his spirit. In
such situations, he needs advice, calm support, or the correction of the end goal.
The LSE cannot live in chaos and disarray. Fights against lack of discipline, violation of
norms and rules. Himself gives a personal example of good discipline and organization, but
doesn't have enough strength to ensure this in others. Collects all the relevant information
before he starts on anything serous. Cannot act in unsystematic, blind manner. Intolerant of
trickery, hoaxes, wily schemes. Expresses his negative opinions rather directly. Critical in
evaluating work, his own and that of others. Finds it difficult to explain the technology of

which she may suffer by being too gullible. The EII values honesty and basic sense of
decency in human relations. She does not forgive treachery and betrayals and will break off
all relations with those who have seriously let her down. However, she may forgive her

directly involve her.
Assesses her appearance critically. Does not like it when someone imposes on her what to
wear or how to look, although appreciates approval and advice regarding how she looks.

to action - the best way to inspire her to do some work is on personal example. Experiences
real pleasure from partaking in well-organized projects. Chooses a partner who inspires her to
useful activity, and not the one who would shield her from dangers and take away
responsibilities. Likes it when someone else helps her to rationally arrange her activities, her
household and office, thus eliminating any useless expenditures of efforts. Appreciates advice
regarding the use of various household items. There is no need to give her long introductions
to what she is doing; she will easily find the needed information herself. The main thing is
