SEE is definitely committed to never taking sides publicly and is good at negotiating, bringing opposing parties to a compromise.

He acts confidently and decisively, but only if surrounded by support. He seeks a lot of formal council, making decisions independently after assessing the relation of forces among stakeholders. In the interest of business, he may become very demanding and, at times, even rigid. He is good at selecting assistants for himself.

SEE always knows what he wants. He needs big goals and new, challenging tasks. Without a constant influx of new ideas, his spirit sours. At the same time, he lacks strategy and long-term calculation. He prefers to solve emerging problems immediately; otherwise, he may become distracted and lose interest.

He is able to seek, and more importantly, unravel talents. Fortunately, this is popular among creative people seeking to be discovered. Thanks to him, society has enhanced social mobility; however, the implementation of excessive and badly-prepared liberalization often leads to unhealthy competition and breakdown.

He strives to be involved in the course of various events and loves to move from place to place, leaving each visit having made useful connections. At heart, he needs admiration and recognition, so when it is given, he doesn’t spare any energy.

He resists any restrictions placed on him, often in a manner that is harsh and rude. At the same time, he is capable of neutralizing a serious looming conflict by changing the subject or refuting the offensive words by turning them into a joke.

As practical psychologists, this subtype is also good at reading people’s intentions by focusing on their appearance, facial expressions and gestures. 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.
