As a leader

Serious, calm but internally tense and alert, this person monitors potential negative external emotions in others. Ethical standards form the foundation of their interactions, using these principles to evaluate people and assess their worthiness based on their attitudes towards ethical norms. They are critical of those deemed immoral or dishonest, though negativity is not outwardly demonstrated unless faced with clear hostility. In such cases, they defend their moral principles and life positions. Observant of others, they clearly see workplace relationships, identifying who is under whom, and assess the strengths and weaknesses of their staff. Protecting their own circle and space, both people and physical territory, is a distinct trait. As a moralizing leader, they critically assess others' actions, believing firmly in behavioral norms. Their subjective viewpoint is closed to other perceptions, striving to give fair assessments, gain trust, and offer ethical advice to those in their closer circle who have passed a moral check. Deeply caring for their people, they show this through actions rather than words, often analyzing abilities and finding it easier to collaborate than do everything alone. This fosters partnerships and relationships that motivate joint activity. Better at handling tactical and practical tasks than at developing long-term plans, they are cautious, anticipate practical nuances, avoid risks, and struggle with urgent and unexpected situations, hesitating about how to act. A hierarchical leader capable of establishing a strict value system and work relationships, they set stable emotional interactions and motivate the team by appealing to responsibility and promoting work discipline. Stubborn and uncompromising in matters of certainty, they defend their team's interests and principles. Caring for and solving others' problems, they monitor employees' health and working conditions, considering people's needs and striving to provide necessities. Favoring employees who align with their values, they appreciate diligence and engagement, dislike sloppy work, and are not afraid to address it. Practical knowledge is passed on to others willingly.

As an employee

Skilled in understanding interpersonal relationships, this individual is conscientious, punctual, and responsible. Always prepared in advance, duties are performed methodically, thoroughly, and at a measured pace, making them highly reliable. Considerable time and effort are dedicated to maintaining order at work, closely monitoring the workspace, and improving working conditions. Physically resilient, complaints are rare, and issues like asking for raises are kept quiet, expecting efforts to be recognized by superiors. Mundane tasks are handled efficiently and carefully. Unsure about personal capabilities, gratitude and recognition for work are required. Financial management is prudent, with a strong dislike for debts. Principled and consistent in habits, there is an empathetic response to others' difficulties, illnesses, life crises, and hardships, offering concrete help and support. Dependability shines during crises, both in personal and professional settings. Loyalty to family and friends and hard work at home are notable traits. Injustice and unethical behavior are hard to tolerate, with retribution seen as a form of justice. Others' flaws are noticed, and critical opinions are often expressed with a look, using a cold tone and gaze. People are divided into 'us' versus 'them,' with openness reserved for a close circle. Struggling to recognize individual differences, the same moral standards are applied to everyone, leading to judgment. Frequent changes and unpredictability disturb equilibrium significantly. Resistance to being assessed on personal qualities stems from insecurities, and under pressure, aggression can emerge.
