Essence: the depth and urgency of felt emotion, and the drive to be emotionally met by others.

The full-bodied experience and outward projection of emotion. Drawing others into shared affective states - joy, indignation, devotion, sorrow - and sustaining the bonds that form when people feel things together. A need to be inside the group, liked by it, and emotionally mirrored by it.

Manifests as expressive, demonstrative, and performative behavior.

Informational Level: rhetoric, pathos, slogans, superlatives, adjective-rich intonated inner dialogue, affect-charged memory

Social Level: emotional involver, performer, social catalyst, distress externalizer, approval-seeker

Psychological Level: intense passions, rapid mood swings, emotional contagion, ideological identification, need for recognition and sympathy, fear of community expulsion

Biological Level: richly intoned voice, high autonomic reactivity, lacrimation readiness, physiological pre-cognitive emotional registration

Emotional states are not filtered before reaching the surface - they arrive there quickly, with force, and they tend to spread. The person generates a field of feeling that others orient toward or away from, but rarely ignore. Neutrality in a bystander is intolerable - if someone nearby remains unmoved, this function will act specifically to end that.

Extreme manifestations: hysteria, fervor, histrionics, attention-dependence, martyrdom, emotionalism.

Vivant (+): spreads positive emotions through warm, hospitable engagement. Naturally uplifts others' moods, expressing joy and affection openly. Creates welcoming atmospheres and enjoys bringing people together. Highly empathetic to others' happiness, celebrating successes and comforting through genuine care.

Luminous affect

Dramatist (−): charges situations with negative emotional force - dramatizing grievances, voicing accusations, projecting indignation and foreboding outward. Uses emotional escalation to make others feel the weight of what they risk or have failed to do. Moods shift sharply, and darker feeling - fury, resentment, ominous warning - is expressed with theatrical force. The emotional atmosphere is rarely neutral.
