The best concept to define the focus of this state is charm. It happens when we are physically and rationally relaxed, but emotionally flexible. We are in this state when we experience feelings easily or expect some good or bad out of things; if we are wrong about threats or blessings, we are willing to correct and reevaluate our feelings. This is the key for empathy, inspiration, and building intuition. It is an imminently spiritual state, but not necessarily dogmatic or moralistic. It devices emotions, moods or likings in order to sense the moment, adjust to it, or spice it up.

By definition, this is the state of focus in abstraction, instinction and empathy. Its main characteristic is the perception of emotional attributes while avoiding physical and rational tension. This defines our ability to receive vibes, motivations and inspiration beyond our senses and reason.
Archetype for this state: Charmers

Sweethearts, Muses… People who have a strong tendency to this state are more attentive to emotional states and exchanges, than physically demanding activities, or explanatory details and reflective analysis. They are charismatic without any effort. They charm and inspire sweetness, creativity, connection and communion, and tend to bring the best out of others. Their attention is driven towards being able to connect with things. For them, having keen intuition and an open heart is more pressing than being industrious or dutiful. However, their love, fascination or disgust for diverse things make them active or curious about many subjects and practices. But, this fascination can be sporadic or lead to newer attractions. They are appreciative of animals, elders, children and strangers; but make better companions than guardians. They are extremely artistic, and although appearing shy, they tend to be very expressive, and develop talent for painting, acting, singing, writing, etc.
They have two tendencies towards introversion:

  • Being abstracted may cultivate timidity and passive aggression, and lead towards self-reliance.
  • Being instinctive may cultivate arbitratity and rebelliousness, and demand self-confidence.
People that are strongly inspirational look for constant fascinations and empathy. They tend not to focus on physical labor or competition. Violence tends to bring them remorse and fear, since they are emotionally open to others. Their norms tend to be based on intuition more than rational analysis. And, they may get involved in thrilling activities impulsively.

Note this archetype is a static stereotype. In reality, we tend to be multidimensional, wholesome, colorful.

The best concept to define the focus of this state is imagination. It happens when we are physically relaxed, but rationally and emotionally flexible. We are in this state when we question and elaborate concepts around our inspiration, feelings or emotions; or when inspired or charmed by abstract ideas. We focus on the view of possibilities, how things should or could be. We will violate reality or logic for the sake of beauty, fear or fascination. This makes us creative, open minded and able to visualize, but also, makes us airy and introspective. This state is social, experiences emotions easily and will be curious about them.
By definition, this is the state of focus in abstraction, conception and empathy. Its main characteristic is pondering about inspiration, or bringing excitement to concepts, all while avoiding physical tension. This defines our ability to be motivated or connected to abstract ideas, not linked to what is tangible, or being presenting to our senses; and the ability to conceive emotional ideas.
Archetype for this state: StorytellersAuthors, Creatives… People who have a strong tendency to this state focus on ideas and the excitement or emotions they spawn. They are not fond of prolonged and laborious physical activities. For them, having an open mind and heart is more pressing than rigorous orders or physical force. Being intuitive gives them the ability to see or conceive possibilities. They are able to hold different scenarios, possible or fantastic ones; but, this can also make them friends of exaggerations and fears. They have great ability for telling and creating stories. They enjoy dialogues, reading, writing—sharing ideas. They tend to have an internal fascination with social heroism.
They have one tendency towards introversion:

  • Being abstracted may cultivate timidity and passive aggression, and lead towards self-reliance.
People that are strongly ideational are bad at following everything that is physically going on around them. They follow conversations and concepts, and concentrate in bonding that way. This brings creativity, but may also bring delusion, lack of structure, and procrastination. They are not satisfied with defining concepts or bringing them to a constricted reality. They are always asking: how else could it be? What else can it have? and rather moving to better views than sticking to one. They can be impulsively adventurous.

This could also be called the Spiritual state. The best concept to define its focus is essence. It happens when we are physically relaxed, but emotionally tense and rationally flexible. We are in this state when searching ideals, meanings, significance or transcendence; when we are involved in abstract reverence. We look to reflet on our values; conceive and expose our feelings. We are devoted to ideas, and enjoy exploring and elaborating on them; being focused on emotional concepts and experiences.​
By definition, this is the state of focus in abstraction, conception and valuation. Its main characteristic is pondering sentiments or placing values on concepts, all while avoiding physical tension. This defines our ability to be exalted, repulsed or devoted to abstract ideas, while being absent from physical surroundings or escaping what is tangible or presented to the senses at the moment.​
Archetype for this state: Therapists

Missioners, Healers… People who have a strong tendency to this state focus on their feelings and are open to analysis. Their attention goes where ideals and beliefs are. For them, being a visionary is more pressing than physical possessions or productivity. They plan and care for what is emotionally important or relevant, and avoid more practical but non-transcendental activities. They feel comfortable in secular environments, but will always question the purpose in search for better things. Their visions may seem compelling and pleasurable, while reality may seem dull and dirty. They may abandon quests following their feelings, and dislike definite, predictable and rigorous things. They are impulsively protective of things they value, but might overlook physical abilities, facts or needs. They may be biased about their preferences; but, they are open to reflect upon their feelings.
They have two tendencies towards introversion:​

  • Being abstracted may cultivate timidity and passive aggression, and lead towards self-reliance.
  • Being value driven may cultivate infatuation and sensitivity, and induce self-absorption.
People that are strongly existential are open to suggestions, information and exploration, but these are all conditioned by an intense desire to carry an ideal. This can make them reject or adopt things, and may interfere with interpretations, giving a sense of clarity at times and disdain at others. They pursue passion in order to be creative; this tends to draw them toward the arts.​


In addition to this, I was scored an MBTI eNFj. Would like to believe this is the case- but I'm always worried about projecting. VERY cool test though- not sure how much precise theoretical overlap there is, but the model is actually structured. Will come back to it later to see if description REALLY reflects how I feel.

EDIT: there's a definitely a bit of the cordial in me, upon reading the description.

I just tested as an INFJ... Very strange.

Archetype for this state: Diplomats Hosts, Philanthropists… People who have a constant tendency to this state focus on their feelings and environment. They have a strong sense of responsibility, given by emotional commitment; they struggle to teach this to others. They concentrate in making sure that what is done carries their views and values. They are great friends of celebrating and recognizing the efforts and intentions of others. They put great attention to special dates and anniversaries, and being there when friends and relatives need them. They are gregarious, but have a preference for their own social group. They value those that are responsive or resourceful. They appreciate intentions, but mostly activism and financial support, because they value facts as much as ideas. Their major desire is to seek balance, and this may drive them to focus on drama or emotional causes to alleviate or resolve.
This state has one tendency towards introversion:

  • Being value driven may cultivate infatuation and sensitivity, and induce self-absorption.
People that are strongly cordial have a clear vision of what is good and bad, beautiful and ugly, desired and repulsive. They are open to debate ideas and to explore activities, places or cultures; but, they have a clear identity with a family, social group, culture or set of values, and the interaction might be restricted around this basis. They also tend to have a clear idea of who is an enemy or threat. And, they tend to be sensitive to public opinion.
Note this archetype is a static stereotype. In reality, we tend to be multidimensional, wholesome, colorful.

The best concept to define the focus of this state is affinity. It happens when we are emotionally tense, but physically and rationally flexible. We are in this state when we look to make sure that values are reflected in our social environment. We are attentive to the things that exalt or threaten ideal views, but rather than the attitude of a fighter or guardian, this state provides that of a critic, teammate and supporter. It is mostly social, is alert of what is going around and will be curious about it.
By definition, this is the state of sensation, conception and valuation. Its main characteristic is sensing the surroundings looking for existential connections, pondering about aesthetics, or bringing value to present events. This defines our ability to look for bonds, harmony or emotional connection within our social medium.

Archetype for this state: Producers Engineers, Managers… People who have a constant tendency to this state focus on their actions and decisions. Their attention goes to where production and results are better met. For them, productivity is more pressing than worries about theories and aesthetics. They have sympathy for people with a clear mission or enterprise. They have a zealous and moralistic sense of duty, but are not prone to sharing their sentiments openly. They like analyzing things practically, but could be arbitrary or frustrated when they don’t understand something. They like to keep things according to a plan, and could be reluctant to change habitual measures.
This state has three tendencies towards introversion:

  • Being action driven may cultivate competition and impatience, and prompt self-reliance.
  • Being resolute may cultivate righteousness and strictness, and maintain self-confidence.
  • Being detached may cultivate aloofness and disinterest, and cause self-absorption.
People that are strongly industrial are protective of their space and possessions, and have a definite sense of order. They value process and outcomes, and use this as a measure of how important or satisfactory things are. They want to feel in charge of things and getting them done. Because of this, they can get carried away, be stubborn or influenced by habits and routines. They look to guard and provide for what they love, but might appear self-centered. They might overlook new possibilities, or relax to search for fun or inspiration.

Foci Physical↓ Rational↓ Emotional↓
Tense → Action Resolution Valuation

The best concept to define the focus of this state is determination. It happens when we are physically, rationally and emotionally tense. In it we are prepared to act towards a predetermined goal. We have no time for banalities, and feel deeply involved, pro or con, with everything. It is not really socially extroverted, but socially committed.

By definition, this is the state of focus in action, resolution and valuation. Its main properties are bringing action to philosophies, order to passions, and value to industry. This defines our ability to carry on our ideals with conviction and sense of duty.

Archetype for this state: Chiefs

Rulers, Delegates… people who have a constant tendency to this state love being productive, are passionate about orders, and religious about habits. They tend to achieve relaxation through control. They are committed, and remain focused on their duties even on vacation. Others would think they make a big event out of trivial things, or stress out when there is no need to. They are effective in carrying out any enterprise, as they struggle to cover every subject. They may tend to feel righteous; this can make them the most decisive and successful people, but the less likely to question their goals. They are bound for leadership and cut out for success. They love acknowledging merits, and search to inspire others. They enjoy having strong adversaries, as they enjoy power and victory.

This state has three tendencies towards introversion:

Being action driven may cultivate competition and impatience, and prompt self-reliance.
Being resolute may cultivate righteousness and strictness, and maintain self-confidence.
Being value driven may cultivate infatuation and sensitivity, and induce self-absorption.

People that are strongly imperial like to analyze things thoroughly, but are passionate about their feelings, beliefs, likes and dislikes, and not likely to change them or give up on them. This may constrict analysis towards a particular goal. Also, they are eager to act, and this limits patience. They look at the greater good or big picture, but are lenient towards customs, routines and personal preferences. They have great focus, and thus a tunneled view. This combination results in great achievements, but must beware not to lead arbitrarily. They tend to be philosophic when things are under physical control, excited when things are in order, and industrious about their desires.

Note this archetype is a static stereotype. In reality, we tend to be multidimensional, wholesome, colorful.

The best concept to define the focus of this state is rationale. It happens when we are physically and emotionally relaxed, but rationally tense. We are in this state when being analytic and trying to find conceptual order and structure. Its ideal scenario is when everything makes sense and falls into place within our head; and when we want to find this perfection.
By definition, this is the state of focus in abstraction, resolution anddetachment. Its main characteristic is bringing order to concepts, thus determining our sense of rational certainty, all while avoiding physical and emotional tension. This defines our ability to structure and analyze abstract data, without being constricted, misguided or distracted by our immediate physical perception or emotional appreciation.
Archetype for this state: Scientists

Analysts, Programmers… People who have a strong tendency to this state are ordered and reserved. They may even tend to create systems and schedules to deal with things like physical needs or attention to others, to avoid neglecting them. They are open to learn and appreciate things, but are strict about their resolutions. Ideally, everything they do should have a reason. They do not show interest for demanding physical activities, unless they see a clear purpose or goal; and prefer personal training to group sports. They do not favor whimsical ideas or feelings, and look to avoid emotional drama. They also dislike frivolities and reckless behaviors.

People that are strongly logical create connections with those who share their convictions, and develop respect for intellectual leaders. They do not need physical presence or trivial chats in order to maintain relationships; their strong sense of commitment does the trick. They can mold habits, and adopt and respect measures quickly if there is a good reason to do so, but are very against those they cannot see a clear purpose for. They look to rest after things make sense or are in order. They develop personal infatuations with ideas, things or people, but may struggle with charisma or courage. They tend to be industrious, but dislike supervision, thus preferring clear and strict methods and policies.

The best concept to define the focus of this state is curiosity. This happens when we are physically and emotionally relaxed, but rationally flexible. We are in this state when we want to learn and contemplate concepts and reasons. We are not satisfied with a simple answer or rules, and this ability opens the door to new ideas and questions. It makes us eager to know and conceive things.
By definition, this is the state of focus in abstraction, conception and detachment. Its main characteristic is the grasp of concepts and information while avoiding physical or emotional tension. This defines our understanding of abstract ideas without constriction, misguidance or distraction by immediate physical demands or emotional appreciations.
Archetype for this state: Researchers

Investigators, Experts… People who have a constant tendency to this state focus on information, and are not prone to physically demanding activities unless they apply knowledge . For them, being knowledgeable is more pressing than being authoritative or emotional. They may be procrastinators and constant researchers, as they are interested in progressively learning and conceiving things. They have low patience for whimsical details about likes and dislikes; their emotional values are mostly dictated by personal preferences or objective interests. They avoid physical struggle and drama. However, their curiosity leads them to new fields to explore, activities to engage in, and emotional connections to form; but, this interest can be sporadic or subjective to intellectual pursue.
They have two tendencies towards introversion:

  • Being abstracted may cultivate timidity and passive aggression, and lead towards self-reliance.
  • Being detached may cultivate aloofness and disinterest, and cause self-absorption.
People that are strongly conceptual have a purely inquisitive mind, and do not focus on physical feats or emotional challenges. They are conversational, good listeners, but not necessarily determined to reach resolutions or convictions; they are more open to data and possibilities. They like ************s, language systems, investigation and science. They may be fascinated with ideas, but may struggle with charisma. They are practical but may lack physical alertness or coordination, which makes them attracted to gadgets and systems to accomplish tasks.
