Function #1– objective intuition: integrity of the external situation. The world should be always harmonious and complete – this is the principle of existence of this type. A wide spectrum of variants may exist according to the first function, though
Don Quixote considers the world to be in order and harmony which are manifested in different ways. People of this type often create illusions for themselves that “everything will always be as it is now, that they will never die or be sick”: "Nothing will ever happen to me”.
A Don Quixote’s first function might be one of the possible reasons for aggression
. People of this type do not plan ahead (unlike, for example,
Holmes), but are acutely aware of the beginning of one period and the ending of another.
Don Quixote is governed by this feeling. Think of a
Don Quixote leaving for work in the morning. He is late, but he is planning on cutting a corner to be on time. He knows he will be five minutes late, but the boss will be five minutes late also. Anyway he will make it! At this moment his wife
(Dreiser) says: “Listen, you are late anyway, take out the garbage on your way out”. This statement may provoke aggression, which
Dreiser does not expect. But the boss’ reprimand “Why are you late?” will not cause aggression. Well, I am late, but I have had objective reasons to be late. It is normal. But this type will not tolerate when someone attempts to destroy the integrity of the external situation.
