People have often described me as wanting to fight, but this is merely an impression that I might give and it is not always true. If I do want to fight it is a matter of honor and nothing more. I would be quite vengeful if maintaining order and protecting my family was not so important to me. I am not afraid to use force if necessary to accomplish my goals. I am a behaviorist, and I will use conditioning to reform someone's behavior if that is what is necessary, but I will try to reason with them first. I am very strongly principled and cannot be bought, though I can be reasoned with. I strongly believe in my own opinions; while I am open-minded with regard to interpretations I am not with regard to my own opinions (which I would not retain if I thought that they were ultimately inferior), and I am usually quick to lose interest if something anomalous does not fit into my own Ti. I am rarely interested in new things unless they correspond to something I have already wanted. I can be very inconsiderate if I think I am correct anyway, which I usually do (but I have been trying to be more friendly). I am very regulated and I excercise excessive self-control. My tastes do not shift - I take great care to preserve my self-image and I rarely change; this is the opposite of N-leading types. I do not have phases of any sort except learning phases, which is necessary to research exhaustively the structure of each academic subject. I cut up large tasks systematically into smaller pieces, and I am never distracted by irrelevant things outside of the system. I do not like to rearrange the order I impose unless I have a reason, I do not look for better solutions and combinations if the one I have is suitable, nor do I accept order from the system of another person without an independent reason. I am politically conservative; I dislike change or untried programs. While I don't like to admit it, I also identify with the LSI socioscope: 'everything must be in the system', 'order - through force', 'to each his due', and 'everything that is not authorized is forbidden'. This last principle, though seeming inconvenient, harsh, and unnecessary, actually helps to reduce waste and reinforce order and social harmony among small children, and in some environments is very helpful to restrict dangerous interactions for adults as well. If I could I would enforce it myself all the time, but it would accomplish little and few would appreciate it. I do not like interference from others in my domain of authority, I like to implement my systems exactly and without ambiguity. I do not like attention, and I am incredibly defensive when I am cornered or watched. When I am bored I prefer to stare at my surroundings than to imagine or anticipate things. Incoming content from my intuition, even when it is important and trustworthy, has a habit of disrupting my thoughts and attaching emotional significance to ideas that have just been established and so do not yet fit into my internal order, which upsets the entire system of thought until the new ideas are fully assimilated and integrated. Though sometimes I can logically deduce creative solutions to things, I am extremely jealous when I learn of a new branch of mathematics that I did not anticipate myself.
