Description

General Description
Cautious and calculating, they observe situations with sharp-eyed realism. Nothing escapes their notice of flaws, contradictions, and potential pitfalls. They question optimistic claims and test promises against hard evidence. Ironic humor peppers their commentary, revealing underlying skepticism about human nature and grand plans.
Financially prudent and strategically minded, they invest only when assured of returns. Their work is thorough and detailed, if sometimes slow. They value comfort and take precautions about health, preferring secure predictability to exciting uncertainty. Independence matters greatly - they need autonomy from group pressures and emotional demands.
Emotionally, they're reserved and somewhat melancholic, with mood swings between contentment and dissatisfaction. They dislike being drawn out of their calm, controlled state. While their ability to spot problems prevents disasters, their pessimism and emotional flatness can dampen others' enthusiasm. They prefer solitude to gregariousness, contemplation to action.
