Features of behavior

One of the most characteristic features of EIE's behavior that allows to confidently identify this sociotype - is the attitude towards people depending on their position in the hierarchy of power. If a person is lower in position than him, the EIE's attitude is coolly dismissive, while towards higher standing people he is respectful. The EIE believes in authority and respects the principle of "leaderism". Emphasizes the uniqueness of the idea with which he is obsessed in the moment. Another feature of behavior common to many EIEs is that they cannot work side-by-side with someone in front of others.

EIE manners, especially in an intuitive subtype, can be very idiosyncratic and distinctive in terms of their accordance with the current norms.

The EIE is oriented at exclusively polite, appropriate, and correct interaction, without elements of coarseness, crudeness, and prodding.

The EIE's figure is often slim, with thin arms and legs. His gait is brisk and fast - its quickness is more expressed with the emotional component. EIEs are very agile and mobile people. At the same time, they have poor coordination in their movements. An impression might arise that they are purposefully showing off. Characteristic of how an EIE holds him/herself in public - is with some majesty, even arrogance. This impression is created at a distance, due to the fact that the EIE hold his head high, looking bit above and beyond the person in conversation. EIE's clothes is often disharmonious. Frequently, their accessories are not matched well. Their jewelry, for example, may not match the general style of their clothing.

The mentor is a leader-inspirer. He sincerely believes in the necessity and usefulness of the chosen ideas, rejoices or broods over successes and the practical implementation of these ideas. This is his main strength as a leader-inspirer.

The leader of this type is better at solving strategic problems, because he excels at taking the global view of the situation into account. Particularly acutely perceives events that threaten to disrupt the normal rhythm of work and plans. In such cases mobilizes his own forces and capabilities. This is reflected not in concrete actions to address the problems, but in calls to rectify the situation with him pointing out failures in work of those who can resolve the problem. His delivery in this case is very emotional seeking a positive emotional response.

Working with the Mentor can be pretty messy: sometimes for a while you will not be able to get any concrete results out of him as he will be dramatically depicting for you all the possible difficulties that will arise. He also will try to impose on you his own strategy and his own schedule of work.

Recommendations for self-improvement

The most developed side of your personality is the ability to experience intense emotions. You are the person with a complicated spiritual world, full of contrasts and contradictions. For the sake of true, deep feelings you can sacrifice quite a lot.

You have an inherent poetic nature that you can express in metaphorical form, often dramatic, sometimes tragic-comic. You may have talent of an orator, who knows how to use speech to ignite many people.

You can be said to be a visionary, a man of great foresight. You have a good feeling for crises ripening within developing situations and can take measures beforehand to avoid them. You seek to warn others about the possible troubles that threaten them. This is the expression of the humanitarian focus of your personality. You are a rather principled person and do not forgive insults and humiliations. To achieve this, you, weighing all pros and cons, are able to take the most drastic measures. However, in some cases, your principles can be inflexible and your decisiveness can be excessive. Aim to exercise restraint in emergency situations, try to make decisions in a calm state.

Your main problem - the inability to avoid situations which bring you misery and discomfort. You do not always fit easily into the society and avoid unpleasant contact with uninteresting people. You show lack of confidence and certainly in your tastes, inability to properly track your own well-being.

The inability to find an inner balance with yourself is characteristic of you. Avoid over-dramatization of the events. Discharge the accumulated emotions in creative self-expression: singing, playing musical instruments, theater, etc.

Do not seek to make an impression at all costs. From this your interests or health will suffer. Dress according to weather, follow some order in nutrition, favor healthy foods. Try to keep your dress style consistent with the situation.

Do not be as sensitive to compliments and evaluation of your appearance. Do not immediately assume wrongdoings. Train to work openly and in public to stop painfully perceiving attention to your work. Try to trust people more and avoid thinking that they mean harm to you.

Another problem areas - a desire to show yourself as an enterprising, active man, but not demonstrating these skills in action. Do not exaggerate the significance of your initiatives. Always ask yourself realistically how likely is it that you will take action and whether these actions will lead to positive results. Overcome your desires to ignore the daily affairs, including maintenance of your home. Articulate your problems more concretely. Do not be pushy and intrusive with respect to others.

Your interaction with people can be difficult also because of the manifestations of excessive formality. Avoid arrogance, be more democratic and straightforward with people. Do not overdo it with irony and ridicule. Your penchant for sarcasm can hurt people and turn them away from you.
