Select Small Group

(Extraversion + Competition + Gist Lens)↑F ↓S

Group Description

Typical worldview: "One must actively fight for their place in the sun, or someone else will take it." The original evolutionary role of dominant F is to forcefully break through others' boundaries to seize their resources. When cultured, it resorts less to direct violence, replacing it with coercion through artificially created circumstances or ethical manipulation (i.e., cooperating with Thinking or Feeling). However, the specter of violence remains, and any authority, losing its legitimacy, reverts to its basic trait - controlling others through the fear of physical harm to their bodies and property. The role of vulnerable S here is the drive to leave one's comfort zone, avoiding relaxation and not trading long-term goals for immediate pleasures.

Interest in conflict situations and interpersonal competition, expanding one's interests by stirring up contradictions in the surrounding world. Quick-tempered. Aggressive manner of speech and love for public speaking. Tendency to boast.
