Prototypes: Craftsman, hunter, contracted leader

Dominant SLI possesses good business qualities. She expects to receive specific, tangible results and won’t undertake any useless work. Once carried away with an activity, she will develop greater efficiency in it. She encourages colleagues and partners by offering favorable deals rather than by administrative coercion. She gradually expands her skillset once she achieves mastery and acquires new clients. She is able to create the conditions for work and rest for her group.

She copes well with prolonged physical activity requiring endurance and willingly does physical work. For her, it is important to have everything she needs at her fingertips.

Ready to come to aid at the first call, she sympathizes with others’ misfortunes, but not through emotion; rather, by solving problems with actions.

In conversation, she justifies her argument with facts. It is very difficult to persuade her in disputes. She hates having to repeat the same information often.

Dominant SLI is characterized by imposing demands on her partners. She won’t tolerate any familiarity. If she does not understand, she’ll withdraw into herself, becoming inaccessible. She is quite jealous and mistrustful, but tries to hide this behind a mask of indifference. After falling out with someone, she’ll permanently shut down relations if her attempts at reconciliation do not end well.

This subtype cannot accept demands that exceed what was previously agreed upon. In such circumstances, she will be the first to break the relationship. She is responsive only to a welcoming and friendly attitude, and cannot stand hypocrisy or pettiness. She fulfills her obligations. She can always rely on friendship and work. She is compatible with diplomatic people who know how to ride out the rush of her emotions and listen to her opinion.

Creative Subtype

Craftsman — Tester

Prototypes: Testers of new technical devices, masterful users of work instruments or weapons

Creative SLI is inventive and resourceful in addressing technical or domestic issues that arise unexpectedly. She is attracted to new, previously unencountered tasks. She is inquisitive, but on theoretical subjects she is not inclined to sacrifice her time and money. At the same time, she would be happy to test and verify the quality of consumer goods or samples that she finds in her hand.

New interests and situational changes raise her vitality, helping her to overcome the apathy that occurs periodically. As a rule, she does not like to rush things, but when she feels that it is time to act, she can adapt herself and others to the situation.

Included in her work are financial incentives, as well as risky businesses that promise unusual experiences. Creative SLI overcomes difficulties thanks to her resourcefulness and wit, contributing to her self-affirmation. Her speciality is the execution of instructions, secretly and alone, free from observers. Stimulated by rapid and tangible rewards, she is fond of extreme and therefore technically viewed sports.

She respects capable and talented people. Having wide interests herself, she easily learns new skills. She takes risks for the excitement it brings and tests herself in rapidly changing situations, although she does not lose her mind or cross a dangerous line. She readily shares stories about her experiences with others. Creative SLI possesses a special sense of humor with a touch of self-irony.

Like no other subtype, she demands freedom in the choice of operations or actions. She knows how to seize the opportunities that save her time, changing the situation in her favor. She possesses good responses, but is dynamic and fast rather than forceful. She successfully takes part in defensive martial arts, although she does not seek to apply the skills to everyday life. Preventing fights is more important to her than getting involved in a brawl.

Normalizing Subtype

Craftsman — Thrifty

Prototypes: Skilled worker proficient in adjacent specialities, master of industrial training

When carrying out work that she enjoys, she is accurate and conscientious. She does everything without haste, yet quickly and properly.

She always removes deficiencies if they are detected, understanding that the recognition of her mistakes provides room for learning. She highly values her work and will not work for pennies.

Normalizing SLI loves to observe how machines and mechanisms work. She is good at using schemes, templates, and guidelines in specific issues that lend themselves to analysis. Economical and thrifty, her goal is to make sure everything in her affairs has minimum waste; however, she has trouble seeing business prospects for the future because she can often take rash actions or abandon initiatives.

Although by nature undemonstrative, she will still get offended if her work goes unnoticed or unappreciated. She is skeptical, and is not seduced by slogans or chants. She won’t tolerate vanity or being urged with enforced demands in an insulting manner.

Normalizing SLI is able to understand confusing issues and simply and effectively explain complicated things. Her actions are driven solely by common sense. She finds it essential to ask herself what the most rational options are. She values her circle of associates, is oriented to family, and is caring towards people close to her. She achieves high qualifications, but won’t seek to hold high positions.

She likes old and familiar things that can still be used. She looks after her health and outer appearance, selecting comfortable and functional clothing that does not pursue fashion and originality. She plans not only work, but also rest. If something does not work as it should, then rest will not bring pleasure.

Harmonizing Subtype

Craftsman — Crafty

Prototype: Independent artisan

Harmonizing SLI is mild and unobtrusive in conversation. Restrained in her display of emotions, she does not tolerate rudeness and is disgusted by bad taste and vulgarity. She is gentle towards others’ feelings, so shortcomings are only spoken of at an appropriate time and in an inoffensive form. She finds it difficult to distance herself from boring conversations. If people violate her inner comfort or limit her independence, she may flare up in anger, though subsequently regrets this tremendously.

Being quite unsure of herself, she is inclined to doubt her abilities and capabilities, though outwardly this is hard to notice. However, insecurity disappears when she is involved in projects. She is sensitive about having her abilities judged and waits for praise from customers, requiring the expert evaluation of her mastery.

Harmonizing SLI is vulnerable to boredom. Monotony and routine can drive her into a depressive state. She needs to experience joy through various exciting and dynamic events. In order to disperse melancholy, she travels or sometimes takes nature walks. She rapidly assimilates new information, selecting what she needs, although gradually finds herself once again plunged into a melancholy state.

A connoisseur of sensations and aesthetics, she seeks pleasure in all its varieties. She needs convenience, complete rest, and quality products. She appreciates uniqueness and originality and dislikes conventional clothing. In her private place, everything is convenient, yet she does not like to encroach on the interests of others.

Physically quite sensitive, she can’t handle heat, stuffiness, the sight of blood, or suffering. She is badly affected by violence. Unlikely to work as a surgeon or sit on an assembly line, she is suitable for work driven by customer orders, individually preparing everything necessary for her workplace.

Harmonizing SLI suffers from mood swings, and this physically affects her working capacity. She dislikes efforts beyond her means and longs for a comfortable life free from intrusions. She is able to distance herself from conflict, showing prudence and diplomacy. She is quite appreciative of mutual compassion and friendliness between people.

This subtype is attracted to friendly, open, but unobtrusive people. She needs them since they help her to experience the joys of life and to overcome her natural laziness and apathy. She dislikes being the center of attention and won’t show her feelings in front of strangers. She is reluctant to talk about her personal life, preferring to be understood without words.

She applies the minimum effort to achieve maximum results. You will never see her overexert herself, as she is the most energy-efficient type. Preferring to work alone, she gets results and works till things are complete and in a polished form. Her motivation is impossible to decode by words, gestures or acts, rather only through end results of labor.

IEE DCNH subtype descriptions

Dominant Subtype

Advisor — Enthralling

Prototype: Coach (personal trainer)

Above all, dominant IEE aims to encourage, inspire, and instill faith in success. He calls for proactive, decisive action. He is not shy and boldly defends his point of view and interests. He is capable of overcoming obstacles, unless his desire and passion has been extinguished. In important matters, he exhibits considerable persistence, though he lacks the perseverance to do everything carefully and accurately. Dominant IEE needs to constantly switch activities and communicate with a variety of people.

He is confident when making major decisions; if his decisions are adopted or implemented, he will not fundamentally change. He strives to meet his obligations, but sometimes his words are not kept, as he is scattered. He’s not vindictive, but having given up on a person, he will easily expel them from his life. He possesses a holistic approach to solving problems. Challenges in life do not scare him, but rather lure him in.

With distinguished foresight, he can intuitively sense the prospects of development for projects. Therefore, he never abandons them, despite difficulties; eventually, as a rule, the desired results are achieved. Having started many things, he lacks the strength and desire to bring everything to completion. When the fatigue passes, his interest revives and he returns to his work again.

Dominant IEE is quite adventurous and willingly meets new people. He is inclined towards risky adventures, which raises his vitality. Success comes to him unexpectedly at the last minute when it would seem as though all chances of success are lost. Believing in luck even in the most improbable circumstances, he shows courage and determination and is able to psychologically overwhelm his enemy.

Sometimes overly trusting of people, he can sometimes talk too much. He considers secrecy a barrier to trust, and because of this, he is not afraid of revealing his own feelings. He loves to win the hearts of people, but not usually anything beyond that; IEE quickly becomes disillusioned with the objects of his sympathy. He is impulsive, extravagant, always visible, and interesting to those surrounding him.

Dominant IEE is highly dependent on his mood, which affects his relationships with loved ones. He dislikes being questioned about his ability, judgement, and business acumen. He cannot always distinguish the important from secondary details, which is why he sometimes spends his effort in vain. He doesn’t distinguish frugality and thrift and has a negative attitude toward stinginess in people. He loves bright, beautiful things such as catchy and original clothes.

Creative Subtype

Advisor — Perceptive

Prototypes: Reporter, media recruiter

Creative IEE is well-versed in the abilities of people. He is excellent at intuitively sensing their secret motivations. At a first glance, he can randomly place special importance on words and actions that hint at the nature and habits of the people he’s conversing with. It makes no sense to pretend to be something you’re not around him. This is surprising to others: that his insights — both his assessments of people and his understanding of the meanings behind events — are often predicted correctly.

He needs an influx of new impressions on a regular basis, or else his vitality will be lowered. He reaches out to talented and outstanding people, and he is interested in anything unusual and mysterious. When carried away by any idea, he eagerly advertises it, becoming an active advocate for it. Creative IEE loves to talk about anything unusual and sensational in order to impress others.

He knows how to approach almost every person he encounters. Artistically, he feels which direction to take. Charming and diplomatic, he willingly compliments people with a sincere desire to lift their spirits. Creative IEE makes light of shortcomings, pointing them out jokingly so as to avoid offending anyone. He talks about his troubles with humor, which is why some may see him as frivolous. Due to his desire to maintain good relations with everyone, he sometimes overloads himself with unnecessary contacts.

He is inclined to periodically change jobs or hobbies in order to test himself in new activities. He often hesitates in making important decisions, since he hasn’t fully delved into the details of the issue and is not always confident in his business capabilities; however, in extreme situations, he becomes resolute and calculative. At such times, he may seem overconfident to others. The decisions he makes are often perceived as subjective and not thought out.

Creative IEE finds it difficult to prepare for anything in advance, preferring impromptu and improvisational decisions. Often impulsive and unpredictable in his actions, he poorly allocates actions across a period of time. He can be late because of this, but he is not badly affected by other people’s delays. He exhibits resourcefulness in dealing with everyday problems.

He defends his views enthusiastically and is an opponent of hierarchy and bureaucracy. He hates regulation and strict rules that hamper his freedom. For the same reason, it is difficult for him to do painstaking work, such as record-keeping and documentation. He doesn’t accept lavish ceremony, conventions or stereotypical judgments, except for the ones he shares.

Creative IEE tries not to make promises without assurance that he can deliver. At the same time, he may do more than is expected of him. He dislikes being indebted, asking for help, or being a nuisance or begging. If he isn’t appreciated, he may become irascible, and at times even rude.

Normalizing Subtype

Advisor — Acquainter

Prototypes: Dating services, specialist personnel selector

Normalizing IEE prefers contact with like-minded people and meticulously selects associates according to their abilities. He gradually creates a small circle of people based on common interests and shared values.

He is able to work on consolidating small groups into medium sized teams, which consist of several smaller ones. He possesses a sense of the distance between people in relationships, which is seen as the attraction or repulsion between people.

Initially he is inclined to idealize people and relationships and exaggerate their merits or flaws; however, over time, he begins to realize that it is not necessary to drift away from reality and corrects himself. Black and white judgements are replaced by numerous shades of grey. Normalizing IEE may excel in psychotherapy and family counseling where the main objective is the right attitude towards people, taking into account individual characteristics.

This subtype is a relatively well-mannered person. He strives to be wellmannered constantly in his looks, as well as orderly in his home and workplace. He’s good at referencing well-constructed theories and systems, valuing information presented in a clear and memorable way. If this isn’t the case, then he builds such systems himself. However, it turns out quite clumsy and overloaded with unnecessary elements.

He overlooks human weaknesses. He is able to voice appropriately the unspoken wants people may have. When communicating with someone close to him, he works on building motivation and ways of strengthening interpersonal relationships. If he is with someone highly experienced, even if it is an outsider, he is able to respectfully integrate them.

He loves and knows how to make gifts and surprises for loved ones. This is his way of expressing love and his means of strengthening relationships. He finds many other everyday ways and tricks to support his favored network of relationships, be it at home or in a group, which he considers his own.

Harmonizing Subtype

Advisor — Transformer

Prototype: Writer or director of psychological comedies

All of harmonizing IEE’s time is spent pondering, trying to understand various phenomena. He remembers experiences before details. At the same time, he knows how to learn from his mistakes as lessons for the future. He is self-critical, but at the same time finds this criticism painful. Nevertheless, the world surrounding him is seen not so much as a drama, but rather like a comedy.

He sometimes inherently feels like he has violated his integrity or disharmonized his inner world and then tries to restore this integrity to be at peace with himself. He is also at risk of detaching his inner visions from reality. For him, this is a painful problem, given his dependency on the influx of impressions from the outside world.

Harmonizing subtype is the most thoughtful amongst the others subtypes, even though people do not immediately notice this. He often seems to be surrounded by frivolity. He has a craving for challenging tasks, especially confusing human situations. He spends a long time studying, comprehensively covering the possibilities; however, he’s not always sure he can explain in the language of logic.

Impressionable and responsive, harmonizing IEE is an empathetic person who likes to offer helpful advice to people in difficult life situations. He always sees several solutions to a problem and tries to give them to others. He is constantly prepared for deviations from the expected course of events. Since he anticipates probable danger, he never gets too upset by setbacks. He loves talking about fascinating, unusual topics in the company of friends.

This subtype is selective with contacts. He won’t become acquainted with simply anyone. He seeks only thoughtful or necessary conversations. He knows how to understand complex pieces of information, procedures, and technologies, and presents such understanding in his own way. He’s a good trainer, as well as teacher, but only for a selected audience or individual. To assimilate information, he needs to skim through everything. Normalizing IEE alters information so that it is presented clearly and at the same time in a novel and unexpected way.

He doesn’t handle loneliness as well as large crowds. When overloaded by work, he needs a pause, a distraction. He is quite appreciative of comfort and has a good sense of smell.

EII DCNH subtype descriptions

Dominant Subtype

Humanist — Consistent

Prototype: Volunteer for a charitable organization

Dominant EII persistently achieves assigned goals that are usually socially beneficial in character and without links to personal enrichment. She is never deterred by the inherent difficulties on the long road. Her strength is in the motivation that her actions are not for herself but for other people. She respects intelligent and highly- motivated individuals who are willing to support her initiatives, helping with advice and actions. She can become a faithful steward for her affairs.

This subtype encounters numerous misunderstandings in life with regards to her choice of goals and dedications, which are devoted to unpragmatic pursuits and hobbies. She occasionally meets conflicts in this regard. Sometimes she has trouble developing mutual relationships, given that she is regarded as eccentric or detached from reality. She may even decide to stop trying to lift people from dull and boring lives into something more sublime; then again, she may make a U-turn on it.

She fears infirmities and illnesses that could put her at the mercy of others; therefore, she tries to follow a healthy lifestyle and avoid bad habits. Dominant EII circulates her beliefs amongst those surrounding her, reinforcing her word by personal example.

Distinguished by enterprise, she is unafraid of taking risks for the sake of noble ideas or a better future. She attempts to bring happiness to other people’s lives, but instead is often faced with the opposite effect — people become more aware of their own unhappiness.

She can succeed in a specific profession where there is an actual human response, or where she is organizing people for training or charity. She is well suited to being a staunch supporter or follower of any doctrine or humanitarian practice. Despite her modesty, she has plenty of contacts.

Creative Subtype

Humanist — Nurturer

Prototype: Someone who find the means to realize herself in spite of the circumstances

Creative EII is inquisitive and interested in moral and philosophical issues such as the fate of humanity in a hostile society. She tries to understand the essence of various things, envisioning her own picture of the world. She is well-versed in prospects of collective affairs and the capabilities of its members. She often chooses flexible, creative professions, preferring activities that allow her to communicate with a small group. Although able to allocate her time, she lacks the perseverance and willpower to complete all of her activities by a designated time; unpleasant things or uninteresting responsibilities might be postponed. Her unfettered imagination leads to spontaneous actions, which often surprise her friends. Thus she opens people’s abilities, inspiring confidence and motivating them to do better. Sometimes she just wants to prove that she is capable of daring deeds solely on the principle of satisfying curiosity.

She dislikes everyday hurry and bustle: it distracts her from the reflection she needs in order to think through the lot of ideas and insights that spring to her mind every now and then. In extreme situations, she gets excited and quickly responds to work, focusing her attention on the essentials. She tries to switch between different tasks, but this is difficult for her.

Characterized by intractability when making impositions, she respects and allows freedom of expression; she does not want to limit her own or others’ rights. Creative EII demonstrates her principles and tacit stubbornness when defending her interests. She endures the winds of fate. Life’s turmoil and frustrations harden her. She allows others to clearly realize their purpose.

Compliments in the presence of outsiders are perceived with confusion and disbelief: she does not need verbal confirmation of feelings and abilities. She has pedagogical inclinations that allow her to teach classes with great interest. She encourages being educated, both in discussions and by bold deeds. Her experience shows that only in collective affairs are interests formed productively and sustainably. She is able to make friends and cooperate with her students on equal terms, which she very much appreciates.

Normalizing Subtype

Humanist — Conscientious

Prototypes: Tolerant and obedient parishioner, the fairytale character Cinderella

Normalizing EII delves into the relationships between people. She has difficulty tolerating interpersonal conflicts and misunderstandings, and attempts to objectively understand a situation and explain to each of the disputing parties what they’ve done wrong. She is quite unwavering in her loyalties. She truly loves those with whom she shares a close bond and is willing to make serious sacrifices for them. Responsive and attentive to people, EII tries to give them real help. She only shows active participation and genuinely enjoys herself.

Normalizing EII is impressionable and vulnerable. Due to her sense of justice, sometimes she reprimands the guilty with severity but cannot maintain this for a long time. She loves little children, but in educational matters is capable of demonstrating strictness and integrity. For those she deems worthy, she will sacrifice her time and interests.

Selfless and responsive, she tries to please others by making them gifts and providing a variety of services. Since she is inclined to take everything to heart and may worry even for minor reasons, she needs an optimistic and energetic partner who can appreciate what she does, protecting her from unnecessary affairs and inspiring confidence.

Distinguished by her modesty, normalizing EII does not want to burden others. She studies and works well, without fanfare or publicity, as she dislikes attention being drawn to her. On one hand, she gets tired of people, but at the same time, they are the problem of interest. She tries to comfort others, offering explanations or good advice. If this does not work, she is able to wait patiently until she can calm the person. When bringing people together, she prefers situations or events to be prepared in advance. If she has promised something, she will not waste effort or time fulfilling her promise. She takes painstaking care in her work, but tends to get bogged down by the details and often overworks herself. She is a conscientious worker. Punctual and good at keeping time, she knows when to leave so as not to be late. Normalizing EII gets depressed if she fails to complete the work she has been entrusted with.

She works tirelessly to create comfort and order around her, even though the outcome is rarely impressive. She can never rest when people around her are busy. She often underestimates the quantity and quality of her work and downplays her achievements because she suffers from low self-esteem. She worries about the well-being of her group. This EII belongs to the type of people who are almost impossible to bribe.

Harmonizing Subtype

Humanist — Empath

Prototype: Psychotherapist working with children’s trauma and other complexes

Harmonizing EII appreciates mutual understanding and tolerance, owing to her ability to compromise for the sake of keeping peace and harmony. She accepts people as they are, forgiving their weaknesses and not trying to change them. She rarely voices disapproval and instead waits for people to become aware of their guilt.

She is able to sense the underlying nature of the human soul, often noticing changes in people’s thoughts and emotions long before the person sees this themselves. Thanks to this, she is well-versed in understanding complicated situations. She readily assists others, since she understands the degree to which change must be made in order to maintain stable relationships. She helps a person in making difficult choices as unobtrusively as possible.

Harmonizing EII knows how to interpret dreams, understanding the meaning of children’s fears and feelings. She is gifted with a good memory about past events. Moonlighting — or taking too many jobs at once — is not good for her, as things will not be presented and done neatly. She ensures that exterior and interior aesthetics are taken into account. Fearful of domestic discomfort, she listens to the advice of competent and experienced people in these regards.

It is quite difficult to gain entry into harmonizing Ell’s spiritual world: she will not share her secrets if there is the even slightest doubt of one’s integrity. She often finds herself critical of capricious people who cannot appreciate what they have now — their health, loved ones, an established way of life, etc.

Characterised by indecision and self-doubt, EII is overwhelmed by doubt and anxiety about the consequences of actions. She has little initiative behaviorally, including within personal relationships.

She dresses modestly so as not to stand out. This EII dreams of being in harmony with a partner, sharing tastes, attitudes, and hobbies; however, at heart she is aware that this is hardly feasible. She is critical of her own appearance and volitional qualities. Remarks by strangers on this subject can be veiy hurtful to her due to her inferiority complex.

Harmonizing EII cherishes inner peace, although she performs her natural mission of empathizing with other people’s suffering and adjusting the psychological atmosphere. She is strained by the conflicts between members of a team she might be on, which may lead her to lie in order to distance herself — saying, for example, that she was ill with a stomach ulcer or vision problems, etc. Addressing contradictions between her desires and the needs of the outer world lead EII to ever-greater introspection and aversion from the world.

ESI DCNH subtype descriptions

Dominant Subtype

Guardian — Upholder

Prototype: A person of example strengthened by life’s adversities

Dominant ESI is expressive and talkative with loved ones or friends. She loves to joke and stir up a conversation. In order to assess attitudes, she must receive specific responses. Feeling sympathy for others, she can be the first to take the initiative in bonding, but she may break relationships when they have outlasted their utility. If she meets a worthy partner, she is capable of providing them with a high standard of living and becoming a faithful life companion, making many sacrifices. She remains faithful to her family, which she often happens to lead.

Dominating ESI is eager to help people experiencing difficult moments, providing a variety of services for them. She is able to organize others, be they neighbors or colleagues, on joint business by helping them to assist each other. Issues regarding health, safety, and beautification of her environment are paramount for her; cleaning or making home improvements is often a way to convert her accumulated frustration or anger from a particular issue into a much needed release.

She possesses administrative and household skills that are not too bad. By nature, she is hard and categorical. If needed, she’ll firmly and consistently defend herself and her loved ones. She considers this to be her duty. She wants to clearly know her roles and responsibilities within a group. She is thrifty when using resources and never tolerates waste. Always preoccupied with work of any kind, she requires the same dedication from her loved ones. She is competent in matters of everyday life such as cleaning, cooking, etc.

She strives to ready herself for anything unexpected so as not to be caught by surprise; however, she does not always manage this and can become quite irritated when placed in circumstances of uncertainty and vagueness. It’s very difficult for her to wait passively to address important issues. She hates frequent changes that depart from established plans. Dominant ESI finds it difficult to take people’s individual abilities into account, which is why she is faced with unexpected situations that ruin her view of relationships in either men or women, old or young.

She dislikes it when someone publicly judges her qualities, given that internally she is not always sure of herself. Sometimes she shows aggression to prevent being attacked or manipulated. She does not brag or boast about her advantages and believes that people should behave according to their social status. She trusts only the words of those people with a proven track record.

Periodically this ESI needs an emotional discharge. She can heartily have fun at parties or other recreational events without restrictions and limitations. Difficult situations in life mobilize her to seek quick resolutions. These events cause a lot of distress, and she needs a concrete, pragmatic aim which she can persistently and gradually follow to overcome the challenges life presents.

Creative Subtype

Guardian — Accoutre

Prototype: Person with a penchant for handicrafts, design, and beautifying landscapes

Creative ESI has a good instinct for people. Reading facial expressions and mannerisms, she can sense insincerity or changes in behavior when in fact there is something wrong. This sensing of problems is not intuitive, but rather driven by her own experience; therefore, it is hard to fool her. She is adept at pleasing and adjusting to a conversation. She seeks to maintain relationships with a lot of people who are valuable to her. She will not tolerate insolence or impudence. At the right moment, she can take advantage of the most vulnerable spot of her foe, humiliating or ridiculing them. She expresses her sympathy not in words, but through actions via the convergence of interpersonal distance.

Creative ESI helps others to do work when they are running out of time and attempting to meet a deadline. She intercedes if she has hurt someone helpless. She never gets lost in extreme situations. She can compromise in a situation she doesn’t feel strong in, but is firm and uncompromising in matters that are considered fundamental. Committed to understanding the needs of her children and enhancing their abilities, she quite often helps them gain more self-confidence, which they lack internally. She needs praise and compliments, though does not like to show this.

She cannot stand narrow-minded nerds and fruitless dreamers, yet she does not condemn unusual people; rather, she tries to understand how they came to be. Initially, she idealizes those sympathetic to her. She tries to be tolerant, and so does not always show her attitude if it is negative. At heart, she condemns bad deeds and remembers them for a long time. In conflict, she exposes the other party’s long list of errors, abuses and misdeeds committed, after which she feels a sense of purification.

She is a good leader of creative teams where there are many grievances and quarrels. Creative ESI does not like to get involved in these disputes, hoping that the other side will not inflate the conflict. Dividing opposing parties, she never allows the conflict to boil over. She is observant and witty, and although an introvert, she is usually not afraid of stages or public speaking. She likes to joke and poke, causing unexpected reactions and then discussing them.

Eager in practical matters, she may do a few things at once, not bothering to qualitatively bring each task to an end, but in critical situations, she shows ingenuity and quickness. Thanks to these qualities, she is excellent at grasping new territories and quickly settling into them. Whether it is at home or another setting, she seeks beautiful and original decorations and arrangements both inside and outside. She also dresses brightly and originally and is capable of doing needlework and gardening.

Normalizing Subtype

Guardian — Condemning

Prototype: An individual with a puritan morality

Normalizing ESI is good at sensing relationships between people. She is conscientious, not because of coercion, but by her own comictions. She adheres to established and time-tested methods of work. She is punctual and sometimes comes to meetings ahead of schedule. She is committed to a job from start to completion; otherwise, she will feel burdened. This ESI prepares for everything in advance and does a job carefully and consistently, overcoming laziness or apathy. This is a person of duty, yet she won’t sacrifice her personal interests for the team or external causes.

Normalizing ESI is inclined to clearly divide people into categories of good, bad, or neutral. Neutral is only for those at a distance, especially in the absence of contact. She analyzes eyes and facial expressions to figure out an attitude, judging whether someone is rude or not. She appreciates true friendship that offers mutual support, especially in times of adversity. She is capable of separating work from pleasure.

She spares no time or effort maintaining order in her area. She examines instructions and carefully conducts documentation. She handles money efficiently, controlling finances and avoiding debt. She is consistent in her habits and affections. Normalizing ESI values family and loves spending time with relatives. Generally, she has good aesthetic taste and loathes dirtiness and untidiness. She is endowed with pedagogical skills.

While noticing other people’s shortcomings, she is never inclined to express them without necessity. When a person’s negative aspects become intolerable, only then will she feel the need to confront them, and if the issue is not resolved, she may end all relations with them. She is generally considered a moralist who upholds strong values. Injustice and unethical behavior affect her greatly. She is very sensitive, returning good for good and evil for evil. She often believes that others neither notice her diligence nor her professionalism.

Harmonizing Subtype

Guardian — Solacer

Prototypes: Farmers, conservationists

Harmonizing ESI appreciates comfort most of all, both in life as well as in relationships. She adapts to a new environment only if she is not threatened. In unfamiliar society or with few people around, she feels awkward and tries to escape unnoticed. Her attitude is expressed not so much in words, but in her tone of voice and looks. Her delicate nervous system gives rise to increased sensitivity. She is inclined to spend time dwelling on her pain and sorrow, having to justify her failures. Her psychological mood is linked to her own outward appearance.

Harmonizing ESI accumulates numerous facts and impressions in her memory about people she has encountered. She makes connections between past events and what is happening at the moment. She is wary of strangers, but more willing to excuse them. Although extremely cautious and mistrustful, she is afraid of making a mistake, and so won’t hesitate to agree to proposals if she feels the results are imminent. Dissociating herself from the evil and misfortune of the outside world, she furnishes her own clean and well-maintained house or plot.

She often changes her goals, and can take radical steps at critical moments, which are often subsequently regretted. Generally, she will not want to move or be strained, preferring to be in her own territory on the principle of “my house — my fortress.” She is inclined to live independently and apart, not wanting to be disturbed or to trouble others. Harmonizing ESI appreciates the peace and rest around her greatly. Sudden anger and resistance manifest only when someone intrudes on her territory.

She acutely senses approaching deadlines; she becomes nervous and ready to do anything to finish, as she is afraid of running out of time. She tends to share work responsibilities with others. Undemonstrative, she dislikes being put out there and attracting undue attention. Her emotions are driven by the situation: amongst cheerful people, she’ll be merry, and amongst gloomy circumstances, serious.

At first, she may seem somewhat unapproachable, wary, and distrustful; however, once approached, this feeling disappears. Over time she comes to relax and starts to behave in an uninhibited manner. She dislikes unexpected guests and quickly grows tired of them, though if guests wish, she will provide a good table for them. She greatly values things that are beautiful and functional at the same time. She usually won’t get involved with extraneous things, as she is driven by present needs and circumstances. She admires concrete work and is associated with the creation of material value. After work, she is able to relax.

ILI DCNH subtype descriptions

Dominant Subtype

Critic — Optimizer

Prototype: A banker, a financier inventing complex business schemes

In the activity he is engaged in, he is quite energetic, although he becomes very tired of large doses of communication. He has high organizational abilities, often with an authoritarian inclination. He encourages people to be active, but warns against useless, from his point of view, decisions. A supporter of decisive action during the transformation.

He is demanding in spheres which he considers strategically important. Able to force himself to do unpleasant and uninteresting, but necessary work for some time. Afraid of becoming dependent on someone due to his democratic nature, so tries to keep the role of a self-sufficient person.

He can be very stubborn and quick-tempered if sees that his advise not taken into account his interests are infringed. His sudden rebuff has a sobering effect on the offender.

Such ILI is not afraid of conflicts, boldly goes to aggravation. A violent force clash whips up his thought, allows him to see the situation more clearly and to get rid of unnecessary details. Although such situations exhaust him, at the same time they allow him to dump the load of accumulated problems in one fell swoop.

Strives for useful, rational actions. He sets realistic goals, knows how to calculate the best ways to achieve them, taking into account all the details of the case.

Economical, ergonomic and practical. Finds a way to organize the process with minimal cost. Gathers expert advice before making a lasting decision. It is difficult to convince him in a dispute since he proves his rightness by facts and similar cases that occurred in such situations.

He uses everything that is available on his territory. Expresses the abilities of the utilizer and the processor. He is drawn to the variety of experiences that he finds in various fields of activity and fields of knowledge. He despises amateurism but carefully listen to the opinion of competent people. With latter type of people seeks to maintain friendly relations.

He does not like extremes, therefore, with his irony, he tries to cool the excessive ardor of enthusiasts. Because of the negativism and cynicism that accumulate in him as a result of individual experience and disappointment in people, he is inclined to dramatize his experiences.

Creative Subtype

Critic — Ironic

Prototypes: TV show and entertainment program presenters or producers; satirists

The creative subtype is quite sociable and won’t refuse to have fun in good company. She feels insecure if her appearance or manner does not match the tastes of the society she is part of. ILI looks for intellectual novelties and is proud of her acquaintance with famous people. She loves to share her knowledge and to assess the prospects of development in new areas of knowledge.

Independent and obstinate, she resists volitional force. She seeks support and approval of her ideas and initiatives. Suitable partners are only those who see her inherent cynicism and share in her assessments of people or projects. She cannot resist making offensive comments, so it is difficult to have smooth relationships not only with foes, but with close friends, too. At the same time, she shows generosity, assisting people close to her in difficult situations.

When in a good mood, she is a clever companion. Attentive and democratic, she is inclined to trust people and is willing to give advice or recommendations if asked to do so. She appreciates talent and respects people who have intellectual achievements in her field of work instead of people who easily rose to fame or borrowed ideas.

Normalizing Subtype

Critic — Aggregator

Prototype: Quiet person, inclined to thoroughly assess information

She loves old, reliable, and familiar things that are proven to be time-tested and true. This ILI strives to be competent in affairs and knowledgeable in all aspects. She is interested in laws and regulations and accumulates necessary and interesting information. She is good at maintaining documentation and records. Appreciating high-quality work and qualifications, she respects authorities in her field. She is inclined to intellectually assimilate information.

She notices all the contradictions and imperfections in the world around and often advises others to exercise caution and restraint in order to avoid surprises and troubles. Despite her observation and insight, owing to scepticism, it is difficult for her to assess the possibility of new beginnings and people’s abilities. Her speech can be monotonous, slow, and soporific, and she feels awkward in public.

ILI takes everything into account in advance, disliking impromptu actions and unforeseen risk. She is cautious and indecisive in new endeavors. Subject to doubts and fluctuations in her decision-making, she won’t promise anything unless she is completely sure that she will be able to deliver. A creature of habit, she likes stability above all.

Harmonizing Subtype

Critic — Prescient

Prototypes: Scholars, participants in intellectual games, scientists with encyclopedic knowledge, programmers and consultants

The harmonizing subtype is gifted with a good memory and thorough imagination. She perceives the world philosophically and reads a lot and thinks. To address problems, she collects all the available information. The process and method of her thinking interests her more than the product of thought. An excellent, although slow narrator, she can recall material in detail and vividly recount the ambient. Having strong visual intuition, she is capable of foreseeing the outcome of affairs or an individual’s behavior in the future by extrapolating the behavioral patterns from the past. She is configured to the knowledge of the objective world and the study of its underlying causes.

Her feelings are restrained in their manifestation. She doesn’t like to give compliments, believing it’s much fairer to start with disadvantages. Strong emotions drain her nervous system, and she is deprived of romantic illusions. She greatly understands the opposite sides that contribute to a relationship’s development. Passive in personal relationships, she is outwardly relaxed, but internally focused. When asked, she offers advice on what must be done to achieve ambitious goals.

She gravitates towards a persistently smooth, contemplative life. A fatalist at heart, she feels vulnerable to the winds of fate. She doesn’t handle discomfort well, whether external or internal. On a journey, every little detail comes to mind and she takes everything necessary with her, from electronic devices to soft slippers.

At home, her clothing is usually modest, yet comfortable and cozy. Quite compact, she strives to dress neatly and conveniently but avoids bright colors and accessories. She is punctual, and therefore doesn’t need to watch the clock.

She tries to look after her health, but is unlikely to systematically train to maintain physical fitness, as she is quite doubtful on these issues. She prefers to devote a lot of attention to prevention of health issues, rather than to dealing with the consequences of bad choices.

He can cleverly make advertisements, persuading people to make particular choices. He stimulates, encourages, and persuades others. He revolves among his friends and relatives, and has the necessity to be social; however, in his narrow circle of people, he often criticizes rather than gives praise, though he does so gently in a half-joking manner.

SEE is inclined to start a lot of things at once, but never manages to finish everything due to a lack of time, loss of interest, or falling into a bad mood. He has a poorly-developed sense of proportion, often wanting to do more than is objectively possible. He performs well in advertising fields, intuitively understanding what is interesting and how to hype something up to make it seem better than it is. Focusing on minor things, he may miss what is most important and necessary.

Routine and monotony tire him quickly; therefore, he is inclined to relax and seek new interests. A characteristic curiosity leads him to new information and even self-improvement. Switching between various activities and people is vital to him.

Harmonizing Subtype

Politician — Nudger

Prototype: Highly sociable habitual cafe-goer who enjoys discussing local life

This subtype is relaxed and unhurried in motion. From a distance, he seems quite patient and calm, but this is misleading. Inner balance comes to him with difficulty: tranquility is halted by heightened impressionability, as well as contradictory feelings and desires, which he does not even understand. He often places higher expectations on new acquaintances than they can manage. Acutely sensitive to emotional discomfort, he is experienced in handling matters where there is a discrepancy between desirable and actual results.

He avoids strain by tackling his distant goals. Not inclined to sports, he prefers passive recreation such as gatherings with friends, cigarette breaks on the porch, lying on the beach, etc. He does a lot for his company. Reclusive lifestyles are boring to him, which lends to difficulty. He becomes active only when he feels it’s safe to do so without much hassle. Unabashedly, he turns to neighbors to borrow small amounts of money.

He is attracted by everything that is officially prohibited and he is capable of making concessions to a person, gaining confidence and offering a quick deal. After receiving a deposit, his promises may eventually be forgotten. He exploits such human instincts as greed and the desire to get something just like someone else’s without much effort.

He prefers to act quietly and will quickly remove unsuccessful contacts or unanswered proposals; he has the ability to make it seem as though he had nothing to do with it. He is good with complaint techniques and shows his innocence to the offended side in the event of conflict. He knows that this easily arouses public pity and sympathy. He can’t withstand direct confrontation for a prolonged period of time; it is easier for him to hide and wait out the conflict.

He apologizes for his inconsistency and impulsiveness periodically, but the sense of guilt quickly dissipates. He is inclined to write off all of the circumstances. He gives little thought to the future and its implications for his life; he lives for the present day, though may make mutually optimistic plans for the future. He likes gambling and other activities that allow him to relax and enjoy a pleasant occasion. He successfully leads small or medium trade when in a reliable environment.

His thinking is very concrete and speculative, but not selective and critical. Once relaxed, he is able to discuss everything, especially social life and political events. Sometimes he is superstitious and does not try to get to the natural causes of failures. He has an inherent elevated gullibility and easily falls under the hypnosis of eloquent speakers, political persuasion or leaders, promising unprecedented discounts or a quick income.

By nature he is gentle and compliant; at the same time, he is restless because of individualism. It’s not easy for him to maintain stable relationships with people because of his rather capricious and fickle nature. He prefers to live separately, to be free from all sorts of obligations, but at the same time have someone like a pleasant neighbor he can ask for help when necessary.
