Description

Core Essence

The Craftsman values comfort and quality above superficial beauty, prioritizing clothing functionality over fashion. Their hands possess natural skill while their senses remain hypersensitive to unwanted touch and unpleasant odors. Nature communion provides restoration as they demonstrate caring devotion to family and friends.

Calculation and economy govern their approach to life. Workplace and domestic inventiveness flourishes in personally meaningful endeavors. Skepticism toward slogans and appeals yields only to practical common sense. Stubborn determination and uncompromising principles guide their actions, though initial distrust of new ideas gives way to maximum benefit extraction after practical verification.

Physical Presence

Facial expressions reveal their nature most clearly — emotionless appearances project either cold mystery or vulnerable inaccessibility in sensory subtypes. Logical subtypes display characteristic "cat-like" smiles suggesting pleasure-seeking orientations. Skepticism and distrust mark their features with faces often narrowing toward chins and evenly thick, compressed lips with slightly downturned corners.

Their signature rolling walk occurs on slightly bent, spring-like legs in stealthy, prowling motions. Athletic builds typically support their practical movements. One-sided smiles resembling smirks reflect undisguised skepticism. Consonant sound preferences create rough, rolling speech patterns. Unofficial, casual-elegant, and sporty clothing emphasizes practicality and comfort over decoration, fitting their figures perfectly.

Communication Style

Skeptical evaluations and stubborn judgment persistence immediately identify their communication approach. Initial disagreement stances lead to endless arguments where verbal agreement masks unchanged opinions. Emotional control normally maintains cold detachment until excitement triggers unmanaged outbursts — sharp, rude, and choleric with heavy gesticulation and raised voices.

Personal sharing never occurs with strangers. Intimate physical contact and soul-searching conversations face rejection due to sensitive skin and psychological boundaries. Emotional equilibrium represents their highest value. Teaching abilities shine through clear, vivid explanations with practical work method guidance.

Behavioral Patterns

Pragmatic profit orientation becomes apparent through close observation. Extreme economy prevents enthusiasm-only work engagement. Gradual work initiation precedes total commitment with maximum benefit extraction attempts.

Independence drives their behavior with controlled stranger access that stops before real influence begins. Friendship receives high valuation with open-door policies and rescue readiness for distress calls. Sharp sensation seeking through active recreation and fast driving reflects their intensity needs. Internal honor codes may conflict with conventional behavior norms while ignoring others' opinions about their choices.
