1. Basic function: relational logic. These are very correct people who understand the essence of laws and rules. They know how to highlight the main thing and cut off the unimportant. Well versed in schemes, classifications, structures. LIIs are fair and principled, they put business above personal interests and relationships, and do not compromise principles even for the sake of loved ones. They have analytical thinking and highly developed logic. Supporters of discipline and order, based not on administrative pressure, but on conscience, duty, and personal responsibility. They strive for independence.
2. Creative function: intuition of possibilities. They have a great sense of the possibilities of people and events and use them creatively. Don't lose sight of alternatives. They are careful, they sense danger. They realistically assess the practical possibilities of the undertaking and do not lose sight of alternatives.
LIIs can be excellent researchers, systematizers and diagnosticians. Create typologies and classifications. They can successfully work as programmers, editors, linguists, translators, lawyers, and accountants.
3. Role function: ethics of relationships. In an unfamiliar environment, LIIs are gallant, polite, and attentive to the rules of etiquette. However, they are not flexible enough in communication. If the topic is not interesting to them, they try to avoid the conversation, because they do not want to waste time, extraneous details in the interlocutor’s speech are ignored. Democratic. They are secretive and do not like to discuss their personal life.
4. Pain point function: volitional sensory. LIIs do not tolerate volitional pressure on themselves under any circumstances. They try to maintain relationships in a respectful manner. They find it difficult to resist aggression or brute force. At the same time, they can be stubborn and uncompromising. They do not tolerate being commanded; they coolly reject strong-willed pressure. They do not like it when their freedom is limited and unreasonable demands are expressed.
Work related to strong-willed influence, conquest of territories, and fierce competition are not suitable for LII. They should not engage in design work, image-making, or anything related to the external form of objects.
5. Suggestive function: ethics of emotions. LIIs are very fond of cheerful, emotional people, but they themselves give the impression of being reserved and, perhaps, even cold. They are susceptible to emotional influence, “infected” by someone else’s mood – good or bad.
6. Referential function: sensory sensations. LIIs are grateful if someone appreciates their culinary achievements or takes care of their health. They themselves are treated and prepared traditionally, according to recipes, without inventing anything new. They need to provide comfort and a pleasant environment, because... It’s hard for them to take care of it themselves.
LIIs love gifts presented in a good mood, aesthetically designed, associated with music, comfort, and pleasure.

Order of feature preference:
Dominant - Introverted Intuition
Auxiliary - Extroverted Thinking
Third - Introverted Feeling
Subordinate - Extroverted Sensing
INTJs live in a world of ideas and strategic planning. They value intelligence, knowledge and competence, and in these areas they tend to have high standards, which they strive to consistently implement. They expect no less from others.
Possessing dominant introverted intuition, INTJs focus their energy on closely observing the world, and forming ideas and possibilities. Their minds are constantly collecting information and making associations regarding it. People of this type are extremely insightful and usually understand new ideas very quickly. However, their highest interest is not in understanding the concept, but in its rational application. Unlike INTPs, they do not follow an idea as long as they can, but only try to understand it completely. They strive to come to decisions regarding thoughts and ideas. Their desire for completion and organization usually requires them to take action rather than sit idly by.
The great value they attach to system and organization, combined with their natural insight, makes them brilliant scientists. The INTJ scientist benefits our society by giving his own ideas a form that is convenient for their followers. INTJs do not easily express their inner images, intuitions, and abstractions. The internal form of the INTJ's thoughts and concepts is highly individualized, and is not ready to be translated into a form that others can understand. However, the INTJ tries to translate their ideas into a plan or system, usually easy to understand, rather than making a direct translation of their own thoughts. In most cases, they do not see the value of direct translation, and in addition they experience difficulties in expressing their own ideas, which are usually non-linear. However, their utmost respect for knowledge and information motivates them to express their thoughts to a person who seems worthy of it.
Leaders by nature, despite the fact that they usually prefer to remain in the background until they see a real need to take on the role of leader. In leadership positions, they are quite effective because they are able to objectively see the real state of affairs, and are flexible enough to change things that are not working well. They are the greatest strategists - they scan all the time affordable ideas and concepts, assessing their usefulness in the context of the current strategy, trying to adapt it to unforeseen circumstances.
Spend a lot of time inside their own head and may not have much interest in the thoughts and feelings of other people. If their Feeling side is underdeveloped, they may have problems providing the level of intimacy needed by those around them. With insufficient development of the Sensory sphere, they may be inclined to ignore the details necessary to implement their ideas.
The INTJ's greatest interest in interacting with the world is making decisions, expressing judgments, and arranging everything they encounter into a understandable and reasonable system. Consequently, they are quick to express judgments. They often have outstanding intuition and are confident that they are right. Although they complement their intuitive understanding with a well-developed ability to express hunches, they often find themselves misunderstood. In such cases, one is more likely to attribute misunderstandings to the limitations of the opposite party rather than to one’s own difficulties of self-expression.
Ambitious, confident, cautious, forward thinkers. Many INTJs pursue careers in engineering or science, although some enter the business world in areas that require organization and strategic planning. They don't like clutter and inefficiency, and generally anything that is confusing and vague. They value clarity and efficiency, and will invest enormous amounts of energy and time into organizing their decisions and intuitions into well-structured forms.
People around them may have difficulty understanding the INTJ. They may see INTJs as aloof and closed off. INTJs really don't show much. own feelings, and are not inclined to express as much praise and positive support as others need or want. This does not mean that he or she does not really feel sympathy and affection for others, it is just that it is not typical for them to feel the need to express them. Others may mistakenly perceive INTJs as stern and going their own way. Nothing could be less true because INTJs are always looking for the objectively best strategy to implement their ideas and are usually willing to listen alternative ways actions.
When under extreme stress, they may become obsessed with crazy sensory activities, such as drinking too much alcohol. They may also be prone to getting carried away by little things and details that they would not normally consider important to the final goal.
INTJs should be mindful of the need to fully express themselves - this will avoid the difficulties of misunderstandings with people. In the absence of good development communication abilities, they can become harsh and concise in communicating with people, and sometimes completely isolate themselves from the outside world.
They have a huge amount of ability to do great things. They have an understanding of the big picture and strive to synthesize direct plans of action from their concepts. Reasoning abilities give them the ability to achieve this. Almost always, INTJs are very competent people and will have no problems with careers and learning. They are capable of achieving great success in these areas. Personally, it's all up to the INTJ to practice tolerance and make an effort to effectively express themselves to others in order to have an abundant and rewarding life.
INTJ personality type- one of the rarest and most interesting types. About 2% of Russians have this personality type (on average 3.5-4% among men and 0.5-1% among women). As a rule, these are widely erudite people who do not at all strive to advertise their knowledge. INTJs exude self-confidence based on their vast knowledge base, covering a variety of topics and areas. INTJs usually start developing in early childhood ("bookworm" is a nickname quite common among INTJs) and continue to do so throughout their lives.
Once INTJs have mastered their chosen field of knowledge (and, as mentioned, there are many such fields), they can answer any question related to that field. INTJs rely on their knowledge. People with this personality type tend to have a strong belief that they have exceptional intelligence, that they are capable of great things. And in some cases this is true. It's no surprise that people of this type are considered the most independent of all personality types.
INTJs are very determined, original and have great insight - these traits cause other people to accept the INTJ's ideas simply because it is very difficult to go against their willpower and self-confidence. However, INTJs do not like to be the center of attention. They often keep their opinions to themselves if they believe that their contribution to the cause will not have much impact, or the topic of discussion does not interest them.
INTJs are perfectionists and enjoy correcting flaws in the ideas and systems they encounter. And since this personality type is very curious by nature, shortcomings come their way quite often. INTJ Personality Types try to stay on the side of logic no matter how attractive the result. They calmly test each of their own ideas with the question: “Is this really necessary?” This mechanism INTJs apply their solutions to problems everywhere and always, questioning everything.
INTJs combine unusual qualities: decisiveness (Judgment preference - J) and vivid imagination (Intuition preference - N). That is, in practice, they can both develop a brilliant plan and implement it. Imagine a giant chess game controlled by an invisible hand, where the pieces are in constant motion, perfecting moves - that's how the INTJ's imagination works. They evaluate all possible situations, calculate strategic and tactical moves, developing Plan B, and even Plan C in case of unforeseen circumstances. If INTJs begin working in a previously unexplored field, they will view the task as a moral obligation, combining their perfectionism and drive into a single powerful force. If someone around them does not have sufficient talent or simply does not understand “basic things,” be it their immediate supervisor or even a top manager, they immediately lose respect for the INTJ.
INTJs often bear the burden of making important decisions without consulting their peers. They are natural leaders and excellent strategists, but can also yield leadership positions to others, especially extroverts. However, such concessions can be deceptive and perhaps even intentional. When an extroverted leader fails to make important decisions and can no longer hold his position, the INTJ comes out of the shadows and takes the initiative into his own hands. In such cases, INTJs act without hesitation. They can rightfully be called “gray cardinals”.
INTJs do not like rules and artificial restrictions. In their opinion, everything can be rethought and reevaluated. They can be idealists (“nothing is impossible”) and cynics (“everyone lies”) at the same time. You can rely on INTJs under any circumstances - they will help fill in the gaps in an idea and can find the most unexpected, original solutions.
In general, INTJs prefer to work in areas that are familiar to them. Their typical professions are related to science or technology, but also INTJ can be found in other areas where intelligence, insight and a lively mind are needed (law, investigations, diagnostics). INTJs rarely seek leadership positions, and if they do, it is not because they enjoy managing people, but because they need greater freedom of action or greater authority.
Every personality type has its weaknesses, and INTJs are no exception. One area where their brilliant mind often becomes completely useless and can even hinder them is in romantic relationships, especially in their early stages. People with this personality type are more than capable of loving and caring for those close to them, but they are often helpless when it comes to getting their partner's attention.
The main reason for this is that INTJs are private and very thoughtful. They have difficulty understanding the complex social rituals that are considered part of courtship, especially in Western societies. Things like flirting or small talk don't come naturally to INTJs. . Additionally, they (especially women) tend to view traditional attention-seeking tactics, such as ignoring, as incredibly stupid and irrational.
Oddly enough, INTJs find partners when they stop looking for them (since at this moment their self-confidence increases). And, indeed, it is difficult to find a trait that will be more attractive than the unflagging self-confidence of INTJ personalities.
Famous representatives of the personality type:
Vladimir Putin, President of Russia
Augustus Caesar, Emperor of Rome
Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor
Isaac Newton, physicist
Ayn Rand, the writer who helped Atlas straighten its shoulders
Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook
Nikola Tesla, inventor
James Cameron, director
Russell Crowe, Hollywood actor
Vladimir Lenin, chief comrade
Independent thinker
When you consider how small the percentage of INTJs is, it is amazing how much influence this type has on the lives of business and academic communities. The clarity of their intellect and abstract thinking allows INTJs to both develop concepts and follow them through to completion - qualities that are highly valued in our society. Probably, representatives of the INTJ type did to form the American corporate culture more than anyone else.
INTJs view life as a center of limitless possibilities (intuition); they comprehend and systematize them, manipulate them and transform them through objective decisions (logic). Introversion of this type opens up space for him to develop his numerous ideas, which are usually much more than can be implemented in practice. However, the combination of preferences of this type produces qualities such as confidence, stability, competence, insightful intelligence and aplomb.
It is the properties of these four preferences that most people turn to in search of strength and confidence, which is especially true in the upper echelons of business. The INTJ will not embarrass us with extroverted behavior when we least expect it, but rather will exude confidence that the matter is in good hands. Instead of focusing on details and specifics, as a sensory person might, INTJs integrate facts into a broader perspective. Despite the fact that many people are quite happy with a subjective approach, we still tend to associate objectivity with business; In addition, our society has adopted “rational” approaches to time and goals, which serve as criteria for reward. The INTJ combines all four of these qualities in a way that not only attracts them in general, but also makes them look to the INTJ for guidance and direction.
The INTJ, with his breadth of development, can easily and gracefully solve almost any problem. As a result, representatives of this type easily rise in the corporate hierarchy and are looked to for first-class leadership, which they carry out with complete self-confidence. (We believe that the INTJ dominates business leaders in Japan. Their ability to take existing ideas and developing every aspect of them, from design to production and marketing, became a key factor in Japanese dominance of world markets in the late 20th century. One Japanese INTJ entrepreneur even managed to improve the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Now Japan is considered the second country in the world in terms of the number of typologists after the United States.)
While no personality type can be summed up in a single word, the sum of all INTJ aspirations can be summed up in the word "independence". This is definitely the force that drives them. If it were up to them, INTJs would make everyone independent. However, this desire for independence risks conflicting with the INTJ's desire to control their environment. So INTJs' colleagues and subordinates must learn that although independence is their main goal, they will not hesitate to limit it at their own discretion.
This apparent inconsistency can lead to contradictions and discrepancies. The INTJ's verbal instructions, which will emphasize flexibility and freedom - "Don't limit yourself in time and do the job in the way that you think is best" - may also carry a hidden subtext: "Get the job done quickly and correctly." Such verbal instructions reflect the INTJ's introverted-intuitive style, which is reflective and flexible. It may seem that such features clearly contradict the logical-rational behavior that can be observed in representatives of this type, striving for responsibility and punctuality. However, for the INTJ himself there is no contradiction here. What he really wants to say is, “Every time you do a job quickly and correctly, you will gain more freedom and flexibility.”
The INTJ, with his natural tendency to think things through, is the ideal "think tank" of the organization: the future intrigues him, fuels his rich imagination, which is reinforced by the INTJ's responsibility. Often they turn to him for solutions to complex problems. True to their preferences, INTJs are able to creatively choose a course of development and provide leadership. Someone once said that the most successful people in society are those who are independent (introversion), conceptual (intuition), objective (logic), and in control (rationality). You can always rely on such people, and they will not bother you too much with their personal desires and needs.
INTJ executives can be perpetual students. They constantly seek to discover and anticipate "what could be," and their intuitive preferences allow them to assimilate new techniques, programs, incentives and development directions for any system. They tend to improve everything, even when everything is working well: the INTJ will even fix things that have not yet broken down. This restlessness of the INTJ can mean that nothing in their business environment is truly stable. In almost any of their projects, evaluation and verification, and possibly re-evaluation, will come to the fore. Even if INTJs are empowered to maintain the status quo, it is normal for them to make at least a few improvements to that status quo.
Female INTJs, like representatives of other logical types, will encounter special difficulties at work. Many of the qualities described above - independence, objectivity, the desire to manage - do not fit into traditional ideas about the role of a woman. Moreover, the INTJ's need to subvert tradition and improve everything can cause friction in the workplace - in a male-dominated environment. Such a conflict risks alienating them from both men and other women: the former simply do not understand or do not know how to cope with the independence of the INTJ woman, and the latter will consider them arrogant, attributing to them an indifferent attitude towards everyone except themselves. Indeed, INTJs are not very lenient towards those women who display traditionally feminine qualities.
But the INTJ woman's tendency to be somewhat aloof may irritate some even more: at work, she acts carefully and precisely, and extremely professionally, monitoring her every word and action. In her personal affairs, however, she confines herself to a few favorite remarks, and keeps aloof from her office colleagues. Restrained professionalism, coupled with a seeming alienation from the team in her personal life, leads to the fact that the INTJ woman does not find too many allies in the office. The higher you rise, the greater your loneliness, and for no one is this truer than for representatives of this type.
The precept of typology, which states that an overdeveloped advantage turns into a disadvantage, is certainly true for INTJs, although they would most likely begin to argue the opposite. The INTJ's rich imagination, if left unchecked, can develop such harmful efficient work qualities such as suspicion and mistrust, and even cause persecution mania. Despite the fact that the tendency to mentally work through dialogues with other people (who will say what and what will happen next) is common to everyone, including introverts, INTJs in particular can go to extremes in this. Their deep tendency to ruminate can lead them into the trap of believing that the conversation actually took place and the actions it entailed also took place. When this happens, the INTJ may come across as arrogant and infallible, to some extent refusing to accept that they are fallible or that the whole event was only in their imagination. The desire to justify himself, coupled with the self-confidence characteristic of rational logicians, can lead the INTJ to the conclusion that those around him are not only unworthy of their trust, but are also plotting something against him.
The fact that an INTJ may be captured by his own illusions can have an extremely negative impact on those around him. negative impact, capable of causing irreparable harm to the INTJ's staff or colleagues. Even the INTJ himself may not be aware of the harm he causes - he usually tends to attribute it to others. The INTJ will most likely reason as follows: “If my merits were enough to rise to such heights, then it is not me, but others who perceive and evaluate the situation incorrectly.”
Another potential disadvantage of the INTJ may be their tendency to view various aspects of management in a highly speculative manner. Team building, goal setting, time management are all great ideas... for someone else. Typically, the INTJ does not so much engage in all these processes as write and think about them, or even strive to make improvements to them.
Like other intuitives, INTJs can become stressed if they are bombarded with too much detail. INTJs' introversion coupled with their intuition pushes them toward imagination and reasoning rather than practical action. Accordingly, if the INTJ begins to be subject to certain demands related to the needs of other people and seemingly insignificant details of the project, he may become indignant, lose concentration, and even fall into a depressive state. Representatives of this type can be recommended to carve out a couple of minutes during each working day for reflection and contemplation. This will help them fuel their inner excitement and allow them to enjoy, albeit briefly, fantasies of “what could have been” (which will replace the harsh reality).
However, these shortcomings aside, INTJs make a huge contribution to the culture of the business world. INTJs' natural inclination toward high achievement and excellence makes them excel at their very best. wide range activities. Almost anything that INTJs put their energy into can end in success. Representatives of this type make excellent teachers, and especially teachers in high schools and higher educational institutions, because they know how to convey their gift of independent thinking to their students. It is not uncommon to find INTJs among good writers, managers, researchers and lawyers (especially managing partners).
- Contribution to the organization: brings objectivity and clarity to the activities of organizations and teams, stimulating them to change and improvement through his conceptual and strategic thinking.
- Path to professional growth: The INTJ must understand that any change of concept by default includes practical details that someone needs to deal with - the stresses that such change of concept entail are very real and very painful.
- Leadership skills: draws energy from the totality of the possibilities of the future; with all determination and fairness helps individual employees and teams through periods of instability and change.
- Attitude to teamwork: A team is a powerful and complex tool, and if properly built and managed, it can play a major role in the practical implementation of team or organizational development concepts.
Creative person. How to use your character strengths to develop creativity Kroeger Otto
Seer (INTJ) – introvert, intuitive, logical, rational
Is there a person you know who follows his “Plan A”, but at the same time he has a lot of “Plan B” ready for all conceivable and inconceivable scenarios? If so, he's most likely an INTJ. Such a person is usually focused on himself and is not easy to figure out. He is prone to theoretical constructions and thinks strategically. The INTJ is the fairytale wizard who is in charge of everything, manages from behind the scenes and always has a contingency plan ready to go. These are them - Seers, people focused on the future, but at the same time, oddly enough, showing extraordinary practicality in the implementation of their plans.
If you're an INTJ, you tend to keep your strongest feature, intuition, to yourself, and communicate what sounds reasonable to the world through your second-strongest feature, logic. By doing so, you create the impression among others that you are confident, competent, and decisive. You are fiercely independent and tend to be drawn to the freedom that creative activities provide. You are also a “rare” person: only three percent of men and less than one percent of women can be classified as your type (135).
To relax, you like to collect abstract concepts and spend time thinking and daydreaming, visualizing your ideas, right? INTJs take individual pieces of information and begin to spin them, like a Rubik's cube, to see how they can be connected to already organized information. INTJs like to have fun endless game into comparing data and finding patterns, as their brains need to be constantly occupied. Surprisingly, the results of their mental activity look completely original and do not in any way resemble the elements that served as the starting point. But because INTJs have many diverse interests and ideas that require them to gather and process new information from different sources, they are at risk of becoming overwhelmed.
INTJs constantly monitor many channels of information, and therefore inspiration can come to them from the most unexpected sources, such as newspaper advertisements, songs, travel or the change of seasons. Periodically, in moments of calm, like lightning strikes, they are visited by “insights.” As Thomas Edison said, “The first step is dictated by intuition, and it flashes suddenly” (136).
As Visionaries, INTJs often begin the creative process having already accumulated a fair amount of “crazy” ideas, prompted by their intuition. They create innovations by making powerful leaps forward. INTJs draw energy for such a leap from ideas that they pass through the filters of their strict logic, thereby avoiding rash decisions. Having reflected a little, they, like rational logicians, clear their ideas of everything that clouds them, bring them to shine and make them presentable. This solidity of INTJ creativity was perfectly expressed by Paul Cézanne when he said: “Imagination is a good thing, but a person also needs a solid foundation under his feet” (137). Over time, and with enough experience jumping and landing successfully, INTJs learn to trust their instincts and gain self-confidence.
Being able to foresee further developments of events - like photographers, for example - INTJs are able to predict what action will take place and where exactly. But, carried away by the search for the most advantageous position for making observations and testing their predictions, INTJs can “overlook” current events. Visionaries work for the future, but they need to be reminded to pay attention to the details of what is happening now so they can prepare to meet the needs of tomorrow.
When you have a hammer in your hands, nails seem to be everywhere. The same thing happens with INTJs. Or, as Thomas Jefferson put it: “Once a man has formed a theory, his mind begins to notice in reality only that which confirms his theory” (138). If you, as an INTJ, are faced with some obstacles in the creative process, take a look at whether you have used all the tools and opportunities. Thomas Jefferson is one of those who managed to put into practice the strongest aspects of his creativity - his diverse knowledge and interests. As a result, he was inventive not only in Everyday life: he also managed to lay the foundations for an innovative form of state.
Indeed, over time, many INTJs manage to become the authors of theories designed to benefit all of humanity - a prospect that is especially attractive to their fellow psychological types. Abraham Maslow's theory of self-actualization is exactly the INTJ model, in which loneliness and independence are highly valued. Another example of this is the strategic planning method called SWOT analysis, in other words, the analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, which can be considered a formalized model of the INTJ thought process.
Like all TJs, INTJs have a need for precision and, like other NTs, they strive for competence. They evaluate decisions based on logic. Rules and requirements are observed provided they are reasonable and justified. Since INTJs are able to anticipate both emerging opportunities and looming dangers in advance, they quickly reject unproductive ideas and thus achieve a high percentage of bringing what they start to a victorious end. On the other hand, they thereby miss opportunities that could grow from seeds they never sown. The projects that INTJs choose often involve complex, actionable ideas that are optimized and prioritized to meet future needs. Steve Jobs explained this choice this way: “Innovation... is born from the word “no”, with which you respond to thousands of proposals, so as not to take the wrong path and not to scatter your efforts on too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, only to say no and focus on what's really important" (139).
For people of this type, competence is of particular value, but to achieve mastery in areas such as drawing or playing the musical instruments, it takes time. If the Seer's skills are not enough high level or his ideas do not meet the high demands that he places on himself, he may refuse to voice them.
INTJ people are strategists first and foremost. From their point of view, the field for innovation looks like a chessboard, on which each step is an act of deliberate choice and is calculated to move towards the final position. Every word in a novel, every gesture on stage and every brush stroke on a canvas is, in fact, an element that fulfills the same mission as the whole.
Do you prefer to work alone, with your own ideas, than with people? Do you often use analogies and metaphors to describe ideas, but do not consider it necessary to say what seems obvious to you? Are your creations generally well thought out, complex and serious? You are an INTJ. Your creativity is like a controlled fire - you, figuratively speaking, designate a certain safe perimeter, within the boundaries of which you give free rein to your imagination, without fear of unexpected consequences, but at the same time you do not allow it to rage, go beyond the “flags” and absorb everything around you. And while you INTJs are independent and do-it-yourself, you must remember that to make your projects bigger and allow your innovative ideas to spread, you need to collaborate with others and gain their support.
When imagining future products or events, INTJs ask questions like: “Which path should I take to achieve my goal? What events must happen for these two companies to merge? What technologies need to be developed to make this satellite system viable?” They are a kind of “reverse engineers”: no matter what they look at, they immediately begin to figure out how to achieve it.
INTJs constantly struggle with the problem of balancing the desire for perfection and the tendency to improve everything, since there is simply not enough time and energy for both. They also need to decide what constitutes success. Very often, victory eludes them because every time INTJs come close to meeting the standards they set, they themselves raise them. You can imagine them climbing an apple tree. Now they have risen high enough to reach with their hand the branch on which the ripest fruits are located. But their eyes open to the next, higher branch, on which there are even more sweet fruits and from which even more beautiful view. INTJs need a close person who can show them milestones and celebrate the completion of these milestones, a person who would teach them to appreciate what they have achieved and be proud of the honors that are given to them. Otherwise, the INTJ's primary motivation "will be their inspiration, which they value above all else" (141), and they will recklessly strive higher and higher.
If you are an INTJ, you are the most creative in constructing theories that apply to solving future problems. To improve your effectiveness, you need to think from time to time about people's reactions and take into account the peculiarities of today's problems. As Cezanne said: “You need to find your own in And vision...to find one's own perspective to see nature as no one has ever seen before" (142). The following words are also attributed to him: “I believe that the past cannot be changed, new links can only be added to it” (143). The Seer connects concepts and theories as links into a single chain, thereby creating something unique in And envisioning how things could turn out and then working tirelessly to turn it into And transition into reality.

Harmonizers Characteristics of an INTJ INTJs prefer to work alone, they look at the big picture and focus on abstract information rather than specific details. INTJs are objective and do not allow subjective attitudes to take over their minds. INTJs like everything around them to be orderly and controlled, so they prefer to make plans in advance. In addition, people with this personality type are usually perfectionists; they place high demands and standards on themselves. They are also more concerned about their future than the present. When INTJs become interested in something, they strive to gain as much knowledge and skills in that area as possible. They always have high expectations and behave in accordance with their highest standards. INTJs are good at collecting information from the outside world, analyzing it and generating new ideas based on it. People with this personality type value information, knowledge, and intelligence; They make excellent scientists and mathematicians. They perform particularly well in fields that require efficiency and the ability to interpret complex information, such as engineering, science, law, or research. “INTJs tend to be perceptive and pick things up on the fly, but this quickness may not always be obvious to others because they tend to keep things to themselves,” explains Sandra Krebs Hirsch in her Introduction to Types in Organizations. “They are very determined people who trust their opinions, regardless of what others think. They may even be considered the most independent of all sixteen personality types. INTJs do best when they develop their ideas, theories, and principles quietly and firmly.” People with this personality type are introverted and spend a lot of time working with their own minds. INTJs work better on their own, which is why they prefer solitary work to group work. Although they are generally not particularly interested in the thoughts and feelings of other people, they do care about the emotions of a select group of people who are close to them. When INTJs are in a relationship, they are willing to devote time and energy to things that will make the relationship successful. Other people often perceive INTJs as cold, distant, and uninterested, which makes forming new friendships challenging for them. People with this personality type often see little value in social rituals and small talk, which makes it even more difficult to try and get to know them. They tend to be reserved and prefer to interact only with a group of close family and friends. Famous INTJs Researchers have suggested that some famous people may have characteristics of the INTJ personality type. Eg: Some famous literary characters can also be classified as INTJ: |
Logical-intuitive introvert (LII) is one of the socionic types, also known as “analyst”. A typical representative of this type is Maximilian Robespierre. His dual is the ethical-sensory extrovert (enthusiast) Victor Hugo.
“I think, therefore I exist.” Man with developed logic, strong analytical ability. He knows how to logically get to the bottom of phenomena and reveal their internal structure. A representative of this type, Carl Gustav Jung, developed the foundations of the typology used in socionics. “Providence created me for quiet office work, giving it all the delight of my soul,” said Thomas Jefferson, during whose presidency the territory of the United States almost doubled. All life situations considers from a logical point of view.
“Justice is my craft.” A type of revolutionary or political conspirator. IN conflict situation organizes a committee to combat the offender. Believes that everything in the world should be logical, and therefore fair. Capable of neglecting his own benefit and safety while protecting the offended. Places higher demands on himself. It is impossible not to take care of him - he will simply bring himself to exhaustion. Garibaldi, Robespierre, Dzerzhinsky, Jefferson are revolutionaries who dedicated themselves to the idea.
Ascetic. Has an extremely unyielding appearance. Often - a piercing gaze from under a looming forehead. He hardens himself by accustoming himself to cold, hunger, deprivation and the disapproving attitude of others. The only thing in which he willingly obeys his partner is in matters of clothing, taste, and everyday life. Having to do this himself irritates him. Usually doesn't notice what he's wearing. Does not tolerate any command. He can be drawn into work not by direct instructions, but by starting to fuss and make a lot of unnecessary movements. After that, it turns on, and the work goes quickly, logically and well. He himself is not very proactive, closed and silent.
Sissy. His selflessness in defending justice becomes especially amazing considering that he has an aversion to anything that disturbs the quiet and measured course of his life. He is very careful about his health. Thus, Rene Descartes “considered the health of the body as the main benefit of this life after truth.” In his youth, he is often inclined to a cheerful lifestyle with friends, cards, and drinking. Then he comes to the conclusion that he needs. Not particularly ambitious, but does not tolerate being passed over for promotion - out of the same sense of justice. He finds himself in a particularly difficult situation, having ended up with a boss whom he does not respect.
“He lived happily who hid himself well.” Quite secretive, does not like uninvited visitors. He reacts sharply to comments, but sometimes hides his irritation behind a somewhat artificial smile.

The most powerful, programmatic function is the logic of relationships, which gives this type prudence and logic even in emotional and ethical issues. In this regard, even in relationships, he is guided not by likes and dislikes, but by categories based on reason: justice, equality, expediency.
The creative function of this type is the intuition of possibilities, which makes him use his first function - logic - to solve abstract, theoretical problems.
Robespierre's role function - the ethics of relationships - is manifested in attempts to establish normalized relationships regulated by considerations of justice. I'm not sure about people's true attitude towards him.
The fourth, pain function - volitional sensory - makes him painfully susceptible to rudeness, shouting and tyranny from others.
The suggestive function is the ethics of emotions, which makes its type highly suggestible in matters related to providing a psycho-emotional background. Receives emotional support and approval from a partner with gratitude.
The sixth function is sensory perception. He really needs someone to constantly satisfy his sensory needs and take care of his health and relaxation.
The seventh function is the logic of action. He does not pay special attention to issues related to the algorithm and does not pay detailed attention to the cases of today, however, as long as this does not contradict the logic of the development of the prospects of his case.
The eighth function is intuition of time. According to this function, he gives polite advice to others regarding the (un)timeliness of any business, its relevance at the moment, and orientation in the flow of time.

“Justice is my craft.” A representative of this type is always a passionate fighter for justice. Believes that everything in the world should be logical and, therefore, fair. He often thinks about the creation of a state of absolute justice, about the establishment of power, which should begin its activities with severe punishment of all who lead an unrighteous life, that is, violate the principles of justice (the idea of the “Last Judgment”). Any of the representatives of this type shares the thought expressed in the American Declaration of Independence: “All men are created equal, endowed by God with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
He is deeply democratic by nature, because he understands democracy as an opportunity to choose. He believes that only then does society have the right to demand from a person full responsibility for his actions when each member of society receives the full right of freedom of choice in his actions. Believes that discipline in society should be based not on fear, but on conscience. Therefore, the punishment of the “offender” is considered as education of his conscience, that is, for his own good. Robespierre is usually of the opinion that any punishment is only effective when a person realizes his guilt.
Robespierre tries to thoughtfully and purposefully choose disciplinary measures. Usually his punishment includes an element of education: the offender must be convincingly proven guilty. Robespierre usually builds the evidence of guilt so logically and argues it so clearly that, as a rule, it is very difficult to object to him. (If only because all of Robespierre’s evidence essentially boils down to the idea of “supreme justice” and the concept of “objective truth”, and to convince him and prove that his ideas are just abstract concepts by which specific conditions and circumstances cannot be measured situation is impossible, since such a point of view, in his opinion, leads to confusion and chaos, which he considers very dangerous for society.) He always only proves that he is right.
He doesn’t like to persuade, let alone ask. He usually places increased demands on others only when he himself meets them.
“I think, therefore I exist.” Robespierre is naturally endowed with highly developed logic and analytical thinking abilities. He likes to talk about various models, structures, diagrams and classifications. In any phenomena, he searches for and finds the root causes of existing contradictions and illogicalities. Strives for logical harmony and logical order. The main requirement of his logical program is objective truth, the criterion of which is not so much practice as integrity and logical coherence. “Truth is the whole” (Hegel).
He considers all everyday and ethical situations from the point of view of logic. Moreover, unnecessary (in his opinion) details are usually discarded, paying more attention to general patterns (“global logic”). A highly developed sense of defending justice. While defending the unjustly offended, he often neglects his own benefit and safety. For reasons of protecting justice, he may abandon a brilliant professional career and switch to social activities (academician A.D. Sakharov).
Robespierre tends to put the interests of truth and justice above his personal interests and the interests of his family. When making a decision, Robespierre first of all takes into account his own conscience and is least inclined to depend on the opinions of others and authorities recognized in society. Having accepted any idea for himself, Robespierre becomes its consistent supporter and serves it in the most fanatical way: he subordinates all his thoughts and actions to this idea, subordinates his entire way of life to it.
In such a situation, he is, as a rule, least inclined to take public opinion into account. If, as a result of the struggle for an idea, he finds himself in conditions under which his idea coincides with the prevailing opinion of society (for example, Robespierre the dissident finally finds himself in a “free country”), then in this case he experiences some disappointment with the need to live “like everyone else.” " Robespierre feels somewhat empty when the element of “struggle for an idea” leaves his life.
The state of struggle is already becoming too familiar for him, he already needs it as a norm of life. In this case, Robespierre is preparing to search for a new, progressive idea that can “make society happy.” And even if new idea not as grandiose as the previous one, and does not require such self-denial, he readily fills the resulting void with it. (Robespierre, as a rule, is not distracted by small, “toy” ideas. If he does not find a sufficiently “large-scale” idea for himself, he allows himself to live “like everyone else.”)
Robespierre is always politically active (a quality inherent in all representatives of the 1st and 2nd quadra). He is always concerned about the problems of the society in which he lives, and is concerned about the social and humanitarian problems of his environment.
Robespierre is usually unshakable in his judgments. I am sure that what is reasonable cannot be bad, “knowledge will save the world.” Robespierre is a specialist not so much in expanding human knowledge as in deepening it. Constantly in search of new information, pays attention to the reliability of information sources. If you need to find out something important, he prefers not to ask friends, but to turn to a reference book, book, schedule, etc. He is afraid of using dubious information. “Providence has designed me for quiet office work” (Thomas Jefferson). Communication with a book is sometimes preferable to him than communication with friends.
Acting as the creator of the project of absolute justice and the creator of the theory of objective truth, Robespierre in each specific situation seeks and finds opportunities to implement his logical program. “It is possible to create a society of an ideally fair system if...” Next, a draft of the conditions that need to be artificially created in society, and to which each of its members needs to be pulled up, is built. Robespierre's logical program is always realized through the search for possibilities that adapt concrete existing conditions to some abstract project.
When generating his social ideas, Robespierre abstracts from particular circumstances, believing that they can be changed and adapted. As a result, his idealized theories encounter real contradictions of specific social conditions and are often implemented in a distorted, sometimes perverted form (if implemented at all). Robespierre's social ideas are better and more successfully implemented, the weaker the contradiction between his theory and the conditions actually existing in society. History shows: the higher the level of material well-being of a society, the easier the ideas of universal (“Robespierrean”) equality and justice are instilled in it (As an example, we can compare the “Robespierrean socialism” of the Great french revolution and the period of “war communism” in Russia with socialism adopted in modern Sweden, which today can be considered an example of the implementation of “Robespierre’s” social theory.) Robespierre’s logical program is the more successfully implemented, the more successful the search for opportunities in each specific situation is, which is achieved thanks to the flexibility and manipulability of Robespierre's intuition of possibilities, which creatively uses such “tools” as the “method of individual approach” and the “method of leveling opportunities”, which boil down to the coordination of individual capabilities. The weak are drawn up to the strong, “let the last be first,” “he who was nothing will become everything.” The capabilities of the strong, in turn, are limited so much that they become available to the weak. As a result of such coordination, society turns into a social system in which “mediocrity flourishes in full bloom.”
There are no clearly expressed contradictions, but clearly expressed individualities are rare. Robespierre coordinates the possibilities in the society around him always relative own idea about “justice” and “objective truth”. For this reason, both of these concepts acquire a deeply subjective connotation. Thus, one representative of this type considers it necessary to give his children a comprehensive education (no worse than that of others) and thereby provide them with a sufficient number of opportunities to find their place in life. Another will consider it normal to provide each adult member of his family with a personal car, but will consider an expensive comprehensive education for his children an unaffordable luxury, and will even condemn the neighbor who spends his last money on aesthetic education.
Each of the representatives of this type has his own subjective idea of “normal” and “luxury”, formed under the influence of his upbringing and the prevailing mentality, in relation to which he coordinates the distribution of opportunities (and material benefits) both for himself and for his environment. “A person is obliged to educate himself,” Robespierres usually pay quite serious attention to the development of personal abilities, but, as a rule, they always try to do this taking into account the real possibilities of using individual abilities. For example, if an adult retrains for some “practical” specialty, Robespierre only welcomes this. But if a person in adulthood spends his last money on his personal training in music or drawing, such behavior will seem frivolous to him, to put it mildly.
Typically, Robespierre quite accurately assesses the objective conditions in each specific situation, as well as being able to assess the individual capabilities of a person. He knows how to calculate objective and subjective chances, based on an assessment of the situation, and always knows who gets what and under what conditions.
He is excellent at assessing his own capabilities. If there are no suitable conditions for the use of his abilities, and there is no opportunity to influence these conditions (no revolutions are expected in the near future), Robespierre waits for more favorable circumstances, or tries to adapt his subjective capabilities to already existing objective conditions. In any case, he never allows himself to whine about his own unluckiness, although he may well envy someone else’s, undeserved, in his opinion, luck. Can analyze the experience of his own failures, but tries not to admit them openly. (A quality characteristic of many intuitives. Its meaning is not to carry the burden of previous failures with you - this interferes with future success, lowers a person’s self-esteem, and “complexes” him.)
He knows how to approach his failures and troubles in life “philosophically.” A representative of this type usually believes that in addition to already known conditions and circumstances, in addition to visible patterns, there are hidden, invisible laws in the world that influence the real course of events and form a single whole with visible patterns. Robespierre knows how to see general patterns behind individual facts.
In communication, Robespierre is a fairly responsive, polite and friendly person. Tries to be correct and polite with everyone without exception. He sees this as an ethical norm, obligatory for himself and for everyone. Tries not to disturb anyone or create additional problems. Protects both his own and others' rights.
Fences himself off from uncomfortable relationships. He prefers pleasant, intellectually meaningful solitude to unpleasant communication. He is simple in communication, does not like conventions and ceremonies. If he doesn’t like a person, he doesn’t consider it necessary to hide it. He cannot tolerate forced communication, “courtesy visits” - for this he values his time and mental strength too much. He does not like it when his friendship is forcibly sought.
He is very susceptible to any manifestation of falsehood and hypocrisy (he calculates this logically and feels it intuitively) - he is very cold with such people, instantly establishing a long distance. He is very mindful of offense, of any manifestation of tactlessness and injustice towards himself and others. It is quite difficult for Robespierre to form his own ethical attitudes.
Robespierre often tries to equate these two concepts, abstracting from such “ethical conditions” as the personal right to a good service, for which one can expect reciprocal services, but cannot demand them. By elevating “objective justice” to the standard of ethics, Robespierre abstracts from ethical rights, but insists on fulfilling ethical obligations.
A good service, in his understanding, must be rewarded accordingly - otherwise it will be unfair. (For example, one of the representatives of this type, working in a small private enterprise, ostensibly on behalf of all employees, demanded that holiday bonuses be given not in the form of small and cheap gifts, but in the form of substantial cash rewards, as is done in large state-owned companies: "Why are we worse than others? Why do others receive cash bonuses for the holidays, and we get caramels and homemade cookies?! Is this fair?")
Robespierre tends not to make any ethical concessions if he, or anyone else, is treated unfairly. If, with all his efforts, he fails to restore justice in the conditions of its flagrant violation, he will try to get out of the situation with the least losses for himself: in some cases, he compensates for the damage to himself - he arbitrarily takes away what he thinks he is entitled to (“ the jungle is the jungle").
If he is unable to take “compensation” himself, he may openly demand compensation for the loss, since he does not want to endure it under any circumstances. That is why in Robespierre the concepts of material and moral damage are often replaced by one another. Example: students threw a party together. The Robespierre girl appreciated the appetite of her comrades and, feeling financially (and morally) deprived, asked to compensate her for the “overpayment” in the total contribution on the basis that she does not drink alcoholic beverages and does not eat meat or sweets at all. As a result, the girl was kicked out of the company, and she still did not understand why. Of course, Robespierre's ethics largely depend on his mentality, on the upbringing he received and on the ethical values to which he is psychologically oriented.
But he is also focused on the ethics of his dual Hugo, which is precisely based on the principles of ethical justice (since it is designed for Robespierre’s perception of it), and first of all controls the ethics in the distribution of opportunities: being endowed with equal rights, one cannot abuse unequal opportunities - rudely speaking, the one who can eat quickly is obliged to take into account the capabilities of the one who eats slowly. Otherwise, society begins to live by the “law of the jungle.”
Robespierre will never allow himself to be the first to abuse his own capabilities - this contradicts his logical program. Robespierre considers it unethical to abuse not only individual opportunities, but also individual rights, even if they seem to be distributed equally fairly for everyone: “We had to change our apartment because of this musical family! Of course, it’s their right to play from morning to evening, but we also want to live in peace!.. Doesn’t our child need to fall asleep on time?!”
To Robespierre's credit, it should be noted: when solving his problems, he always takes into account the rights and conveniences of those around him. Based on ethical considerations, Robespierre controls the fair (equal) distribution of material goods for all members of society without exception. For example, if his family has adopted children, they are endowed with exactly the same rights and responsibilities as his own. (“...My sister and I had a picnic for the children: we divided all the food into equal quantities - everyone got 2 cutlets and 1 pie. So, my nephew thought 1 pie was not enough, and he demanded more, and even threw a tantrum!.. ")
In any ethical situation, Robespierre relies on principles built on mutual respect, correlation and measurement of his own rights with the rights and capabilities of others. And that is why the best partner for Robespierre is his dual Hugo, whose ethics of relationships are based on the same ethical principles. That is why Hugo is the only one of all ethical sociotypes whom Robespierre can completely trust, with whom he does not feel deprived, infringed on his rights or unfairly offended. With representatives of others psychological types Robespierre does not find complete mutual understanding.
Robespierre is intolerant of any manifestation of violence and arbitrariness, since he considers them the root cause of injustice, and therefore the root cause of all troubles.
An intolerant opponent of unjust, in his opinion, dictatorships based on violence, Robespierre everywhere imposed a “dictatorship of justice” based on the education of an “ethically just” self-awareness. Violence is applied only to those who are not able to cultivate such an ethical quality in themselves, that is, only in relation to “predators”. Robespierre believes that volitional influence is legitimate if it is fair. Robespierre condemns the abuse of power, authority, and influence. Does not tolerate harsh pressure, authoritarianism, or commanding tone. Resists any attempt at violent influence - both volitional and ethical.
Very critical of crude and cheap methods. Robespierre cannot be subjected to strong-willed pressure. Any attempt to put pressure on him inevitably leads to conflict. He does not give in to harsh pressure even when it threatens his life. He will not allow himself to be humiliated, he will not allow himself to be “taken by the throat” - he would rather die. He will not allow his rights to be infringed - he immediately demonstratively resists this (a kind of preventive measure).
Robespierre not only does not tolerate violence, he constantly tries to protect himself from violent influence. Therefore, the measure of its protection usually far exceeds the measure of impact on it. For example, Robespierre may refuse a single, trifling service to his closest relative only on the assumption that such services can enter the system of relations, and then his compliance will become the norm of behavior for everyone, and this is already unfair to him.
Protecting his territorial rights is also a very important issue for Robespierre. Robespierre agrees to look no matter how inhospitable, impolite and discourteous, but he will not allow a stranger to enter his house “suitcase first.” He is afraid of uninvited visitors, because they steal his time, his place, and encroach on his personal freedom.
Robespierre feels defenseless in a situation of sudden volitional pressure. In this case, he often unexpectedly displays “unforgivable compliance,” which he subsequently analyzes, trying in the future to be prudent and not repeat such mistakes.
Robespierre is afraid to give rise to strong-willed influence on himself, so sometimes he strives to look like a person without weaknesses (“Iron Felix”). Doesn't like it when people play on his weaknesses. Can't stand whiners, doesn't allow himself to be pitied (doesn't like cheap ethical tricks). Never allows himself to show strength towards the weak.
Tries to influence with words and persuasion. Physical punishment he uses it as the most extreme measure, Robespierre finds it difficult to speak in an orderly tone, imperious intonations are not characteristic of him, although when he flares up, he can be harsh. He is not shy in front of his superiors, behaves with dignity, does not fawn (“I would be glad to serve, but it is sickening to be served”). If they raise their voice at him, he seems to immediately “switch off.” Often it seems that he does not even react to the accusations brought against him.
He defiantly ignores annoying advice and moralizing, and is especially afraid and dislikes those who always “know how to do it.”
It is very difficult for Robespierre to insist on his own, it is difficult to be assertive - he knows too well that this is not his method. It is always unpleasant to demonstrate your power, will, and determination. He never allows himself to be pushy and really doesn’t like this quality in others. Usually feels awkward whenever his strong-willed qualities are discussed by strangers. As a rule, he tries to avoid conversations on this topic. The fight for his rights requires Robespierre to constantly overexert himself, which, in turn, often leads him to physical fatigue - a condition that is very unpleasant for him, and which he tries to avoid.
Regulates the regime of its loads: tries to calculate its strengths and capabilities, resists overloads; Feeling a loss of strength, he tries to rest in a timely manner (instinct of self-preservation).
Robespierre resists even oversaturation entertainment program. In the case when Robespierre's partner becomes his dual Hugo, the problems of overload, overstrain, volitional pressure and volitional defense are solved in the most natural way: Hugo charges Robespierre with his energy, his activity, constantly maintains his emotional and physical tone, encourages him, does not allow him to become limp, gives him a very flexible regime of physical and emotional stress, maintains a state of optimal activity and excitement in him. Hugo is the only one who can very accurately and naturally arouse Robespierre's activity; the only one who can easily stir him up, provoke him, irritate and entertain him, easily relax him, easily calm him down, can create for him optimal conditions For full-fledged work and rest.
Defending the interests of Robespierre, defending his ideas and views, Hugo is able to easily overcome the most seemingly insurmountable difficulties. When Hugo and Robespierre defend the interests of justice, there are simply no barriers or obstacles for them. As history shows, Robespierre's ideas easily gained popularity with the support of Hugo's willpower.
Robespierre tends to subordinate his emotions to reason. He often gives the impression of a firm, unbending, reasonable and emphatically restrained person. He really dislikes states of emotional overstrain. It is difficult for him to endure quarrels, hysteria, scandals - this costs him a lot of energy.
At the initial stage of a relationship, Robespierre tends to maintain a long distance, which is reduced only when he is convinced that his partner’s ethical principles coincide with his own beliefs. If the information does not seem convincing enough to him, he is inclined to experience the feelings of his partner.
He trusts the person who not only expresses his sympathy for him, but also shows concern for him. Loves, caring, and cares, loving. Robespierre doesn't like to sort things out - why? He already knows what a person will do in the next minute (good intuition), he always feels how he is treated, according to the emotional indicator that is embedded in his subconscious and tuned to the emotional mode of his dual Hugo. Emotions that do not withstand the test of his “indicator” are perceived as inadequate: they seem either exaggerated, or insufficiently expressed, or too demonstrative, or insincere or false.
Sometimes Robespierre gives the deceptive impression of a man insensitive and incapable of compassion. In fact, he is able to empathize with even an unfamiliar and complete stranger, although he may refuse help to a member of his family if he sees that this help is not regarded as it should be (for example, as a concession dictated by weakness), or is used in the wrong way, as needed (for example, to purchase luxury goods).
He connects very carefully to the mood of others. In the company of people he doesn’t like, he acts stiff and withdrawn. Only when you find yourself in an atmosphere of relaxed fun, sincere cordiality, warmth and comfort, does it begin to “thaw”, relax, recharge with a general mood, and become a charming and interesting interlocutor. He begins to literally sparkle with fun, smiles with a charming, “sunny” smile, jokes subtly and gracefully, and happily entertains the company with all sorts of funny stories that he usually wants to remember and then retell to someone else.
Being in a state of emotional upsurge, Robespierre very quickly wins sympathy, easily becomes the life of the party and is able to make any evening unforgettable. Robespierre's external coldness and severity are nothing more than a protective shell of his easily vulnerable soul. And it is the Robespierre-Hugo dual that understands this best of all. Robespierre's unapproachable restraint not only arouses the curiosity of Hugo (who often finds pleasure in overcoming seemingly insurmountable difficulties) - it serves as a kind of “touchstone” for finding a psychologically compatible partner.
In order to melt these external “ices”, enormous spiritual warmth is required, expressed in an emotional flow of a certain quality and character. With his characteristic spiritual fervor and energy, Hugo storms this “impregnable stronghold” so that all Robespierre’s “coldness” dissipates like smoke. Hugo, although he does not restrain himself in showing emotions, still does it quite tactfully (Robespierre does not allow violence against himself). Hugo expresses his emotions very aesthetically, intelligently, tastefully, with constant concern for the feelings and comfort of his partner. Hugo is the only one of all types of sensory ethicists who is capable of emotionally influencing Robespierre in the most optimal way. Only in the company of Hugo does Robespierre feel truly calm and protected. Only next to him can he truly relax.
It is very important for Robespierre to feel constant care from his partner. In his understanding, loving means caring. If a partner does not show due (according to Robespierre) attention to his feelings, convenience and comfort, Robespierre does not believe the feelings of such a partner. The more care and guardianship he receives, the more readily he fulfills his partner’s wishes, the more actively he participates in solving his problems.
Robespierre is extremely annoyed by the need to organize his own life, comfort, and coziness - this distracts him from more important, creative work. In everyday trifles he is compliant, unpretentious, and tries not to delve too deeply into household affairs. The Robespierre woman (even if she is only a housewife) also considers housework to be of secondary importance.
The need to maintain order at the proper level often irritates her: it always seems to her that she spends too much effort and time on it; in addition, it often seems unfair to her to take on all the household chores - let others help too. Robespierre can happily do household chores, provided that they do not interfere with his thinking.
Among representatives of this type there are many needlewomen and cooks who do a good job at their job at a level where automatic execution of the work does not cause much damage to its quality: “The hands work, and the head thinks its own thoughts.” The Robespierre housewife can do some simple automatic work all day long and not feel tired. Enjoys cooking festive table, although only a limited circle of the closest people invites to visit.
Representatives of this type dress discreetly, often conservatively in style, and prefer neutral and restrained tones in their clothing. The “discretion” of Robespierre’s clothes sometimes turns into irritating dullness. Like all intuitives, they often use not the most successful combination of colors (gray with dull orange, gray with swamp green, etc.) Robespierre is completely transformed when Hugo begins to take care of his wardrobe: clothes are selected in such a way that the most to advantageously emphasize its natural attractiveness. Without Hugo's aesthetic tutelage, Robespierre often looks like a nondescript “gray mouse.”
A healthy lifestyle for Robespierre is not an end in itself, but an indispensable condition for good performance. If you are able to work a lot and not get tired, it means your health is in order, and there is no need to think too much about it. He prefers that his partner take care of his health, since he is subconsciously attuned to the sensory perceptions of his dual Hugo, for whom caring for the health of his loved ones is a matter of paramount importance.
Robespierre transfers the ideas of universal equality and justice into the sphere business relations. Therefore, the area of his observations primarily concerns issues of fair distribution of material wealth and fair industrial relations. Issues of compliance with mutual obligations, issues of fairness of labor agreements, protection of workers' rights, fair working conditions - this is what worries and interests him in the first place.
Robespierre is among those who, regardless of personal conditions and convenience, will always defend the rights of the collective. It is he who, on his own initiative, will demand from the employer improved working conditions and increased wages for all team members in accordance with changes in the price index and increased labor productivity. He will seek a fair distribution of production standards and will demand fair payment of sick leave and vacation pay. The protection of human rights is of paramount importance for Robespierre.
But in some cases, when Robespierre is finally convinced that he cannot protect his rights by honest methods, he begins to feel like a kind of Robin Hood and allows himself to win the benefits due to him using not entirely legal and not entirely honest methods (and in this Robespierre is helped by his strong intuition of time). Example: one of the representatives of this type, desperate to defend her rights, forced herself to be fired at a time when, according to the law, no one had the right to fire her, as a result of which the company had to pay her compensation in the amount of her one and a half year salary.
When leading a team, Robespierre focuses on nurturing the creative initiative of employees and on revealing their abilities. Carefully analyzes the level of qualifications, length of service, work experience, education. Knows from whom to demand what level of work, and demands in accordance with individual abilities. He tries to encourage and use any initiative in the interests of the entire team. Quickly finds the most rational method of doing work and willingly shares his experience with others.
He considers exchange of experience and professional mutual assistance to be the norm of relationships in a team. He does not impose his production proposals on anyone, but often speaks out on this topic. The lack of mutual understanding and mutual assistance in the team is sharply condemned. He always tries to maintain smooth and correct relationships with his colleagues. Believes that the psychological climate in the team should not negatively affect its performance. People rarely praise for good work. He doesn’t talk much about the good – he takes it for granted. Often draws attention to shortcomings and unresolved problems. When reporting on the work done, he does not forget to mention the positive results.
He is very methodical, tries to find a system in everything - he considers it an indispensable condition for the successful completion of work. He is distinguished by precision in his work and meticulously works out details. He just doesn’t trust anyone, he checks both himself and his partners. It is usually unnecessary to check it yourself. Consistent and persistent. He strives to complete any task and does not like to give up in the middle.
He does not tolerate it when, with one unfinished job, he is entrusted with another. Cannot conduct several cases in parallel. He does not like to present the intermediate result of his work for general discussion. Knows how to calculate the time it takes to complete his work. Always manages to get it done on time.
Resists inflated daily production standards (simply ignores them). Tries to take on as much work as he can complete without overexertion by the end of the working day. He does not shirk from work, values his working time and uses it very productively and rationally, but does not allow himself to be exploited and will not allow his working conditions to be made more difficult.
Robespierre's time belongs to his intellectual creativity. Therefore, he greatly values both his own and other people’s time. He is punctual and greatly values punctuality in others. Plans his day prudently and prudently. His plans are most often realized exactly as he conceives them. Doesn't like haste. Feels time and knows how to distribute it wisely.
Does not like fuss, lives in an optimal rhythm of life. There is such regularity and such rational automatism in his movements that, it would seem, working slowly, he manages to do a lot. Living by the principle of “hurry slowly,” Robespierre keeps up everywhere and accomplishes a lot.
His apparent slowness is deeply rational and most often turns out to be the most optimal pace. Thanks to this quality, Robespierre relieves his dual Hugo from unnecessary stress, haste and fuss, sets him the optimal rhythm of action, the optimal time regime, and thereby relaxes and calms him. Robespierre knows how to take advantage of the opportunities that a given period of time provides him. For example, he can use the period of forced unemployment to improve his skills, acquire another profession, study foreign languages or legal self-education.
Robespierre values his free time very much. For him it is always a gift to himself. And he prefers to use it for things for which he previously did not have enough time: for his creative hobbies, for self-education, for relaxation, for pleasant and intellectually rich leisure. Taking away Robespierre's free time is the same as depriving him of this gift. Hugo, focused on Robespierre's intuition of time, knows how to value other people's time and knows how to protect his own.
He sees well historical patterns in the life of society, sees the “connection of times.” It is typical for Robespierre to pay attention to negative trends in the reality around him. With his characteristic intuitive insight, Robespierre is able to timely understand and deeply analyze emerging social problems. He is able to promptly warn society against them and offer the most optimal solutions to these problems.
