Category's Small Groups
Inventor
Group Description
Comprehending fundamental truths and developing abstract concepts (including ideological directions). Ability to create fundamentally new ideas; for forming the general informational paradigm of an individual and social groups, up to humanity as a whole. The ideas of this group are 'heavier' than those of the group of 'Negotiators', as they invariably reflect the subject's inner 'self' rather than the dictates of the external environment. Corresponds to the talent of a creator who, from their imagination, brings forth new worlds, concepts, and fundamental knowledge - things that previously did not exist in this world. Marked by a search for eternal truth and beauty, an ability to love the imagined more than the real, and an indifference to profit and everyday life - as something low and unworthy of attention.

Increased interest in the products of others' work, in reworking and adapting them; with tolerance and openness toward all people and ideas; with the ability to adapt to injustice, to be diplomatic and not get irritated by anything or anyone; and with avoiding fanaticism in any form.

Gatherer
Group Description
Focused on finding material resources. More concerned with current consumption and individual biological survival than ensuring sustainable resource reproduction. Better adapted to living in materially impoverished environments; often advocates for eliminating overly labor-intensive material excesses and returning to natural simplicity. Corresponds to traditional values that are most clearly expressed in clan- or community-based social structures. These values include a sense of belonging to a unified national body, love for one's homeland and ancestors, and collective emotional experiences associated with feeling part of great events. Tend to have the fastest sensory memory on average; also more likely to be athletic and physically resilient.

Processor
Group Description
Focused on maintaining the functionality of a large number of complex things, more diligent and attentive to details. Ensures sustainable reproduction of material resources and the increasing complexity of the technosphere as a whole. Down-to-earth life goals and aspirations, indifference to ideologies and distrust of abstract knowledge detached from practice, a focus on personal physical self-preservation, well-being, and comfort, as well as apathy toward heroic military pathos and any form of self-sacrifice.
