Analyst — Improver
Prototype: Researcher who optimizes systems to maximize returns
This is the most purposeful representative of this type. She consistently and persistently pursues goals and is committed to working on her goals until they are brought to an end. She is mistrustful of new ideas until she verifies them, and analytical verification is her staunch asset. She is able to bring herself to do uninteresting but necessary work. She is inclined to hold herself to high standards. She keeps track of health as an essential assurance of her working capacity and is often in good shape.
She dislikes having to defend her personal interests, but is able to stand up for herself and her ideas, being stubborn and uncompromising. She abhors subordination, thus rejects being controlled by anyone. She responds to harsh and despicable criticism with the same criticism in return. She projects an aurora of confidence, although this is more a means of hiding her doubts. Resorting to radical means is quite rare; it is only done when other measures are unsuccessful and the situation becomes critical. She believes that when people make choices on their own, they can be asked about those decisions openly. When necessary, she may reprimand others without respect for the other person. She is often impatient and scornful at those who reject her ideas or demonstrate incompetence on serious matters.
She can be fairly harsh and demanding with people she is close to. In a family, she often takes the leading role. She copes well with everyday problems but is poorly versed in how to treat those around her, so she has trouble dealing with the intricacies of informal communications; however, in business matters, she is talkative and engaging, often using humorous, twisting speeches and popular expressions. She needs to have a positive attitude towards her activities. Her initiatives should not be criticized, interfered with or resisted. She is direct and inflexible in behavior, which is why she has an awkward relationship with sensitive and delicate people.
Most of the time, her work or hobbies are beneficial. She is committed to personal mastery. She explores new methods, providing her own advanced techniques. She spends the minimum on things, but prioritizes their functionality. She strives for perfection in all her work and has a pronounced dislike for intrusive advice from incompetent people.
Analyst — Autonomist
Prototype: A scholar with an alternative way of thinking and independent behavior

She knows how to discover a person’s individual ability, finding the best application for them. She quickly grasps the essence of unusual phenomena and complex subjects.

She is a good speaker, able to succinctly and clearly convey material to the listener. She is passionate in intellectual debates and able to inspire others with her ideas. Her thoughts are focused on the future; the past is recalled rarely or casually. She is well-suited for brainstorming activities. Distant projects are of little interest to her. She’s mostly interested in the foreseeable future, which allows her to visually verify results and realize the ideas on which she is working.
She tends to delve into her inner world by reflecting. She spends a lot of time in deep thought. She is committed to understanding in her own words the maximum amount of information and idiosyncratic knowledge, so her statements are not always clear to others. Sometimes she is inaccurate or uncertain in minute details, given that she is merely interested in the intrinsic ideas and the main direction of development for the projects and not in the specifics. She makes decisions quickly, always seeing the situation holistically or relying on her intuition. Her second guesses tend to be more accurate than the first.
She always tries to add an element of novelty and surprise to her work. She does not like to engage in criticism, preferring to move forward to tackle any shortcomings. She is an opponent of rigid discipline and administration, considering it limits human expression and individual abilities. She is certain that the primary motive in work is not aided by fear or a sense of duty, rather an interest in the case. She seeks to maximize independence, requiring freedom to act, working badly in rigidly constructed systems. She is inefficient in the field of bureaucracy, waiting, for instance, for official clearance.
With a good sense of time, at events and meeting she usually arrives punctually or not at all. Sometimes her behavior is incomprehensible to others, as she may rely on alternative solutions and unexpectedly cease to participate in a project. Changed circumstances or new evidence can dramatically alter her opinion. At heart, she is skeptical and distrustful, but tries not to show it. She tries to envision different scenarios and to ensure against possible errors.
She possesses few friends, limiting her range to colleagues and associates. She is reserved and incommunicable and doesn’t like to discuss her personal life. She remains withdrawn, except in those cases where she is well-versed in the issues being discussed. She prefers to talk about what interests her; extraneous details during a conversation skip past her ears. If the topic does not interest her, she tries to get away from the conversation since she does not wish to waste time.
LII is compliant in matters of everyday life. She monitors her health regularly. Aesthetic appearances are of little interest to her. She dislikes social rituals, although she is compelled to participate in them, as she considers them necessary to maintain social cohesion. She lets others take the lead and knows how to persuade gently but firmly.
