PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION / OPERATING PRINCIPLES

I - He is introverted, and has a limited social battery. He doesn't like parties or places with a lot of people.

N - He is extremely intuitive and can often find connections between concepts that seem disconnected. His main weekness is sensing, as he can often miss important details, remember things in detail or use past experiences. He is focused on the future and gets annoyed when people are stuck in the past or overrely on past experiences. His approach to knowledge is big picture focused and refuses to be narrow in his knowledge.

T - He prefers to take decisions based on objective facts and isn't afraid to offend others. He can come across as cold or blunt as a result of this. However, he has strong ethics and has private passions for topics like philosophy, so he isn't entirely devoid of feeling, he just doesn't know how to express it and can come across as emotionless. However, he feels like he is full of emotion and passion, even when his facial expression is serious.

J - He is very responsible. His room is orderly and always does things with organization.

Primary Ni - He enjoys mystic experiences, and believes in a supreme architect of the universe. He enjoys seeing the connections between souls, concepts and objects. He often has apophenia, is pattern-hunger and sometimes overconnects dots. He thinks "Everything is made of the same substance, everything follows the same underlying pattern" He takes several bits of information and comes up with a single conclusion based on them. He loves "a-ha" moments, and has them very often. Sometimes, he is just sipping coffee while unconsciously thinking of something and Eureka! Out of the blue, he comes up with the solution to a problem that has been bugging him.

Auxiliar Te - He applies top-down logic. His logic always pursues an objective and it isn't knowledge for knowledge's sake. He starts with an objective and applies his thinking to the external world in order to pursue that objective. His thinking is top down, working backwards from the goal. He is really productive and orderly as a result of this. He often is bored by knowledge that can't be applied to pursue objectives, and sees math and philosophy as tools to pursue goals instead of ends by themselves. He admires Aristotle's "natural way" His favourite parent figure was a teacher who was an ENTJ woman who taught him order and applied logic.

Tertiary Fi - Although he doesn't often show his feelings outwardly, he is extremely authentic and ethical. He loves the Nichomachean Ethics and Nietzchean ethics. He aspires to be the Ubermensch. He often feels like he has to affirm his individuality and doesn't care about other people's feelings as long as he is being himself. He feels like he is full of feelings of individuality, but other people don't see it and think he is emotionless. This annoys him somewhat, as he is not emotionless."Cogs of passion"

Inferior Se - If he had to choose between focusing on the past and the present, he would choose the present. He appreciates beauty in nature and is learning to see things "as they are" without interpreting them too much and just enjoying his senses: Good food, beautiful plants, beautiful geometry in architecture, etc. However, he often struggles to keep himself in the present and prefers to imagine the future and how he can transform his environment.

His shadow functions are as follows:

Opposing Ne - He sometimes gets distracted by thinking too much about different possibilities, fantasizing and brainstorming. He prefers to keep a one track mind and use his "third eye" to see the most likely solution instead of brainstorming (Ni) People who use Ne can get him off balance or distracted as they force him to consider several possiblities instead of the one he already knows to be the correct one.

Critical Parent Ti - His mom used Ti extensively, she was very critical or his projects and didn't believe in him. He doesn't like skeptics who criticize everything leaving no foundation, like Descartes and his bottom up thinking. He sees math and science not as beautiful by themselves, but as tools for engineering and architecture. Whenever someone uses too much Ti and tries to use pure logic or uses thinking without a clear objective, he doesn't enjoy it, specially if it undermines his use of applied logic.

Deceiving Fe - He doesn't respect people who "sell out" to others, he prefers authenticity. He cringes whenever someone changes their opinion of their way of talking to suit the preferences of the group.

Demon Si - His main weakness is that he isn't well atuned to his internal sensations and memories. He has terrible memory and doesn't appreciate tradition, embracing change instead. He is frustrated by people who resist change and cling to outdated ways, he sees them as obstacles to progress. This blind spot can make him overlook valuable lessons from history, leading him to repeat mistakes.

Humor

• Dry, understated, and rare.
• Delivered as quiet irony or restrained understatement.

Example: “I won’t do that. Not because it’s inefficient—because it’s wrong.” Example: “Yes. It matters to me. That’s all I’ll say.”
