Essence: firm and assertive.Firm and assertive
They like to assert themselves through their work and persevere in what they consider to be their duty. They want to show the world what they are worth and they do this by means of presenting their ideals and then pushing as hard as they can to get them realised.
Lasting tensionTheir will power is extremely strong and they never relax the tension. Their plans are always straight and to the point, but they themselves can feel quite emotional and tense.
Discipline creates tensionThey try to keep their tension under control by being very disciplined, hoping that order and routine can keep that busy and restless feeling at bay. But it usually has the opposite effect: all these rules and regulations make them feel even more hurried and tense.
Beating people through tension
They are very impatient and the slightest form of criticism can provoke quite an extreme reaction, like a sudden slap for the person who happens to contradict them. Injustice or time wasting is something that makes them very angry.
Fighting for relaxationThey are under so much pressure that there is no longer time for any sort of relaxation. They have to fight for some space for themselves, for some time away from work. As soon as they think they have finished their task there is another job waiting for them. Their sense of duty prevents them from saying ‘enough is enough’. In their desperation to get rid of this pressure they may suddenly go to the other extreme and fling off all responsibilities.
They may even feel that relationships are nothing more than yet another duty, so they would rather avoid them. A mother might feel her child to be a heavy burden, or a husband may experience the presence of his wife as a huge pressure.
Perseverance in order to feel freeThey like to work, and at the same time to be themselves. They feel they cease to exist if they allow others to walk all over them. Their feeling of self-worth disappears as soon as they are not allowed to be busy and exuberant.
Failure through too much assertivenessTheir extreme assertiveness can also lead to failures. They can be so pushy and put others under so much pressure that they turn round and say: ‘Why don’t you do it yourself’. Nobody wants to be involved anymore.
The other extreme is that they are so desperate to enjoy life that there is no time for work and the whole thing fails because they spend all their time or money on other things.
Failure means the end of pleasureWhen they fail they feel they don’t deserve to enjoy themselves anymore. They feel guilty if they make mistakes, even if this is caused by the pressure they are under. Then the guilt takes over: they think that from now on they won’t be allowed to enjoy themselves and they will probably get ill or some other terrible thing will happen to make sure the fun is over.
