Temperament Style
Interests
Education: Trade
Preoccupation: Safety
Vocation: Life
Interests are about what others need. When self is educated, self chooses an education to major in, based on what helps self and others to live. Self is worried about others safety, and whether or not we are okay. Self is only okay when we are okay. The Vocation chosen by the self, is indicative of how the self feels about life, and nothing else. If the self is into video games, then video games is what the self chooses to get paid for. Self never educates itself on more than exactly what it wants.
Value
Being: Skeptic
Trusting: Insecure
Yearning: Recognition
Seeking: Hospitality
Prizing: Achievement
Aspiring: Builder
Value in self is based on doing the most for people, and making the most happen for thse who need it, always. If self finds themselves alone, they are skeptical about what self is, who self is, and whether or not it is worth it for self to exist here. Self is alien, and trusts no one, unless self has to, which makes for a wild insecurity in oneself to come through, and showcase who self really believes itself to be. Recognition for being self, is all self yearns for, however self will feel fulfilled in it’s endeavors, if offered hospitality in recognition’s place. When the self has achieved, self has arrived, and will showcase all achievements as a badge of honor on the self, or hang these achievements on their wall, or display them on their shelves, as a prize. If self is capable of building off of these things, self will feel good, but it is not necessary for the self to survive, just something it enjoys thinking of.
Self-Image
Self-Esteem: Exciting
Self-Respect: Benevolent
Self-Confidence: Authentic
Self-Image is made up by a system of Esteem, Respect and Confidence in one’s self. The Utilitarian Guardian’s self-image is about being real, but also a good time. When the self’s esteem is at it’s peak, they are usually being called exciting, and feel exciting and happy. When the self is respected–by themselves–they are being benevolent with others, and themselves. Their self-confidence is determined by how authentic they are with others.
Orientation
Present: Anxiety
Future: Energy
Past: Fuel
Place: Spirit
Time: Nostalgia
Orientation of self is based on a time that self loved, if the self finds itself standing in the middle of time, it becomes anxious. Self is preoccupied in making sure that the future is exciting, and that the past gives self more fuel to keep going. Self lives in their spirit, and has a hard time grounding, except for tiny inductive memories, or specific moments that nail them to special times. Nostalgia is self’s only grounding force.
Social Role
Mating: Soulmate
Parenting: Silencer
Leader: Egalitarian
Social Role is that of making sure we all look good at the horse and pony show. Self will never try to mate with you, unless self is thinking of taking you forever. If self does find itself intertwined in the sheets, self will consider whether or not their partner is for life, as their soulmate. As a parent, self is not equipped with the ability to converse or informat, therefore, self silences children, as a way to make sure that they can be ready and willing to hear, before engaging. Self rarely chooses to have children, but when self does, they are kind, but also preoccupied with public conceptions of their family unit. A true egalitarian, as a leader, the self does not separate subordinates into better, or worse, but watches carefully, to make sure that each and every person under their care, is working for the greater good as a whole–if a subordinate proves to be unworthy, they will choose to dismiss them from their leadership.
